Cv boot alone although they can be replaced, because the joint is contaminated, they should be disassembled cleaned, and rebuilt, so it's cheaper to replace the entire axle with a rebuilt one, usually $80 dollars for the axle and 1 hour labor or so. Possibly some transmission fluid if it comes out during replacement!
