Drive shaft joint assy noise

Hi Guys,
my GA16de, noise coming from the Drive shaft joint assy when turning,
i thought of changing the Boot & the bearings...
i was told that the assy is sold as a whole joint assy piece,
anyone can advise me on that.

Thank you very much.
B.rgds.

anyone know how hard this is? Im pretty good with motors but this would be a new one for me.
I have the replacement differentials.

Do you mean CV axles? Its pretty easy (not positive about this particular car). Just unhook the axle from the steering knuckle and pry it out from the transmission. Do not try to yank it out, it will just fall apart. If you have trouble, they sell special slide hammers that fit between the axle and the transmission.
