Default How to tell what kind of CV repair to do...

I just got aligned and was told one of my "axle boots" was "broken".

I assume that means my CV boot is torn.

There are a bunch of kits available for CV repairs, but how can I tell what I really need? If I need a new CV joint as well as boot, how can I tell?

Thanks.

Unless the joint is clicking or popping just get a boot kit for ~25 bucks

Default Thanks. Follow-up question: I'm going to a track event this weekend...

and don't have time to fix it before then. Is there any preventative measures I should take?

Thanks.
