Bad CV boot. Suggestions sought - replace boot only right away to try to save the joint? Run it dry until it sh1ts the bed and replace whole CV joint? Or is it easier to just replace the whole drive shaft (this is what I did in my Corrado with remanufactured parts)

Yes, there is no reason not to. Why run into the possiablity of the joint breaking and causing more damage.

joints are way more expensive...
