1993 ES300, 110,000 miles ...passenger side outer cv boot has torn, should I replace the entire assembly or just the boot and while I'm at it should I do the driver's side as well??
The car produces a sqeak (not too loud) that coincides with my speed, should this repair fix that as well? Other than that no other noticeable side effects.
Thanks in advance!

You only need to replace the axle assembly if the cv joint went dry and makes a loud clicking noise on turns. If not then just have the boot kit installed. Check the other side for any cracks that might open up later. Might as well do both cv boot kits while your at it.
