CV Boot and axel

So I ran into a similar problem like Dublin did in his post (https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f116/cv-boot-82407/), when I was replaceing my brake pads I noticed my driver side outer boot was torn. since it looked fresh and after putting my finger in the boot I could still feel grease I took some electrical tape and closed it up for the time being. I checked autozone and they sell the boots for $59 each or a half shaft with the two boots for $59.. go figure. I also found them here pretty cheap too..

I won't have time to do it this weekend but was curious if there is anything else I should replace while I'm in the area like shocks(Its been about 150k since I changed my shocks figured I will even though they seem fine) or bearings? Also the question I had that I didn't see in the other forums was if I replace this side... should I also replace the passenger side boot and half axel?

Regular routine maintenance is always a good idea but if it ain't broke don't fix it

Like wabbit said, maintinence is a good idea. While in there, check for loose parts, leaks, blown shocks, etc etc. 150k is a long way for shocks to go, so you might look at replacing those with a nice new set.
