Yeah if it's to the point it's making noise, it's smoked. The boot kit isn't gonna fix it

I see.. so I may as well change out the whole driveshaft... darn. Where would you recommend a new OEM driveshaft be bought from?

Yeah, I mean if you have the time and capability of tearing it down and measuring everything out etc then no harm in that. I found my seal blew and that the joint had worn, I was able to pick up a good low mileage driveshaft for a very good price so I just went that route. If it happened again I would probably just pick up a 2 piece driveshaft. They are a nice upgrade and are more serviceable.
