Looking to put up my old bomb for sale but it has a split in one of the outer CV boots.
The two inner CV boots appear intact, however it seems they're slightly leaking grease out the sides.
- Mechanic says it won't pass roadworthy (i.e. QLD safety certificate) with these issues, is that correct?
- Mechanic said it might cost $250 to fit two new inner boots and one outer,is that a fair price?
- Should I get it fixed or just sell unregistered?
- I heard that you can buy refurbished CV axles cheap and swap for the old ones, is that true? Where can I buy them and how much?

See if their quote is any better. Apparently, it is a straight forward fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLrGNU_t83Y
