Front Axle Boots

well, talked to my buddy, the 95 civic axles are compatable...just one problem, one of his boots (out of the 4) are already cracked, so forget that, im just gunna get a whole new axle (labor costs the same) just figure ill do the whole axle swap and save the trouble of replacing all the boots individually.....my buddy said he'd do it for me on his lift at work and try and bargain a deal with his boss to get it done cheaper too
