I have a 1997 Suzuki Esteem with 138,000 miles on it. It runs great. There have been no disturbances in handling, control, or ride -- except I now have torn boots. We ordered the standard replacement boots, but we had it aligned not too long ago. (Front and rear alignment) My question is this: Can I replace both driver and passenger side CV boots without disrupting the alignment?

Hi there,

This is not possible, as you will have to remove the stub axle from the lower control arm or the strut tower you will need a alignment check again.
