In going over my new to me 2000 LC with 222k miles, I found both CV boots blown. One recently as it has fresh grease around it, but the other...has no grease around it, and I do not know how long it has been that way. I have not started disassembly to repair and replace yet, as I am doing research and reading how to tips.
My question is, with 222k miles and unknown number of miles since the boots blew is it recommended to clean and reboot, or is it better to go ahead and replace the shafts and everything else due to the mileage and since it will already be apart?
Also in my reading I see where some swap the shafts from one side to another, again with 222k miles is that better than just rebooting and moving on?
Thanks
