I have tried all the methods for CV axle repair/replacement. Aftermarket is pathetic so don't waste your money or time. You can reboot and re-grease if you are proactive and do it before contaminants enter the cv joint. I foolishly spent the time to reboot a cv joint that was already exposed to the elements and it failed shortly after.

IME the easiest/best solution is to find a good used axle that has no tears in the boots.

 

There's only one problem with this. I'm on backorder already

Think the best we can do is as fondu said. Otherwise aftermarket boots are the only option to DIY

I may consider Phoenix to rebuild mine. They look like a good option

 

FYI. The following boots do NOT fit our cars:
- Beck Arnley 103-2661
- EMPI 86-2244-D

The inner diameters of the boot are too small to fit on our axles. The height is also wrong. Do not buy them and go through the return process I've been in.

Both boots have part number "86301" written on them. They are the same boots, just repackaged...

These were designed for 90s Camrys/ES 250s, but the part interchange numbers have gotten messed up over the years

Beck Arnley 103-2705, Toyota OEM rebuild kits, Rockford CV 550-22 are all discontinued and I could not purchase them.

It's a shame Toyota doesn't produce new parts for us anymore. I would really regret to get rid of my car. I've been trying everything...

Will update this post if I ever find something that works. I will probably end up re-using my original boots and high quality grease from FCP Euro, because my boots are still in good shape..

The only other option is to go aftermarket or to try to heat and force the Camry boots on...
