CV joint boot leaking and LAC bushings

My passenger side cv joint boot it's leaking. it's not making any noise, I don't have any problem when turning. Im taking the car to the shop tomorrow, should I change just the boot? Or should I change the whole thing? Any one have any link of where I could get a cv joint?

I also need to replace my bushings. Would a type s Lower arm control fit an 05, 6sp?
Should I keep the LAC and just replace the bushings with aftermarkets ones?

Any links to where I could get the lower arm control?

Thanks.

Save some time and money and just buy the whole axle from acura. I went through quite a few aftermarket axles the shook and vibrated before I just bought oem.

I've replaced just the boots if the joints appear to be in good shape and never had a problem and saved a lot of money, but if your paying someone to do the job, less expensive to replace the axles as hourly rate builds quickly. Don't consider split boots, they are worthless.

It looks like the same Fastline LCA bushings replace '04-'08 TL/TLS, so I'd say the Type S bushings would fit, or just purchase aftermarket units, your choice.

Yes - just change the boot - it's not very expensive. Changing the axle too is just ridiculous.

I had a '95 Civic that used to (like most of the early '90's Hondas) go through CV boots pretty regularly.
