Left side CV boot torn...grease all over the insides of my wheel S70 1998

Just did this on my S70...mine was popping a bit, so it may have been ripped for a little while. I replaced the axle...I didn't have the time to order it online, so I got one from AutoParts Express. I know, most will question the quality. But they have several options. I was told by a experienced friend that what you want to avoid is anything rebuilt, as they can regrind surfaces to meet rebuiling specs. The parts store had rebuilt with lifetime warranty...but they also had brand new with lifetime warranty. It was only $30 more for the new one ($130 total). I also got a new axle seal just in case, but mine was fine and so I returned it. That was all 6 months ago and no problems. The R&R was pretty easy. Don't reboot...it has already been exposed to some road grime and it isn't worth it.
