CV Joint Boot Repairs
I was informed by Lexus I should look into replacing my front left CV joint boot. Can anyone please help me with if there is any other routine maintenance I should have done while I look to get that replaced? I was quoted $600 to replace it but I think I should probably go to a local mechanic for a quote too.
I saw I can buy both front & rear kits for around $100. That seems pretty reasonable, does anyone know what it should be labor wise for all of them to get replaced?

If it goes bad, it does it slowly, wheels will not fall off. You will start to feel a shudder under acceleration eventually. It will take 1000s and 1000s of miles to fail, and will do so gradually I think (it does on my older Japanese cars at least), so no big rush...
