Keep in mind split boots are only a temporary repair, a full boot kit is$ $8-15 but requires disassembly of the axle

That's true. I am going to get a full replacement kit for them instead of the split boots. I don't want to put this thing together with duct tape and bailing wire like my old Civic. I want to keep her going for a long time to come. It will be my first attempt at axle dis-assembly, so be prepared for more questions!   :D  

Thanks!

Might also be cheaper/less work to replace the whole axle with a new / reman'd axle, see how much they are locally. I got a set cheap on ebay years ago.

OK, for those of you that are interested....

The replacement part for the front sway bar link kits is Energy Suspension part number 9.8125. They come with either black or red bushings and they fit like a glove. Took some sharp high speed turns today and what a difference!

Looks like the same ones will work for the rear, as well.
