Found some contradicting opinions on this.
My front drivers’ CV is starting to squeak, so it’s probably already plenty overdue for replacement (no tear in boot). I have a road trip slated for the holidays (CO to TX and back). My budget net of some unforeseen life stuff, a pile of maintenance and little repairs, and a wedding have me slightly strapped. Cheapest I found for OEM (preferred) is ~700 for the pair. My OCD says obviously just do both while you’re at it, but kind of wanting to either take care of the drivers side and do the passenger later, or put this off until we’re back in town after the new year.
Is a CV going to weld itself if I run 12hrs on it? Am I going to somehow do diff damage if I’m running one new and one old?
