Torn CV boot, slight thunk from stop, related? 850 1995

While replacing the pads & rotors on the front of the '95 855t yesterday I noticed lube on the driver's side control arm and subframe. I found a 1/4" tear on the inner CV boot. I have noticed for a while now a slight "thump" in the steering wheel when taking off from a stop and have looked at the rack and engine mounts and haven't found anything loose. (Could still be a mount though)

Question is, at 100,750 miles, are the axles assemblies or CV joints due for replacement? Haynes shows a repack and reboot proceedure if the joint is ok. Groton offers remanufactured axles for the turbos. Anyone try them?

Thanks,
Erwin
