You continued driving on a torn CV boot? I guess you decided to swap out the entire axle instead of just the boot then.

My CV boot on my Subaru was torn prematurely due to the aftermarket DP being closer to it than stock. Was it the passenger one by chance - this assuming you're running an aftermarket DP.

Sweet-looking rides BTW.

no it was the driver side, inner boot. which is weird cause usually the outer boots are the first to go

Keep that receipt. Even the slightest contamination of the axle grease from a torn CV boot can lead to premature wear and an eventual axle replacement.
