Though when I need something now being able to search the local stores' inventory online is really handy and saves a great deal of time.

If the CV is leaking just needs a new boot they usually aren't too terribly hard to replace and a rebuild kit is a small fraction of the price of a new/rebuild axle.
Thanks. I see their price is a bit better than the 100 for both half axles I paid Autozone (when core charge is refunded). But I got it right away and didn't have to pay shipping. Still, good to know another recommended site.

I chose to replace the half-axles because I have a lot of bearing noise and wheel drag in the front wheels. I'll get the job done during Thanksgiving weekend, without bad luck in weather or other unforeseen difficulties.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
