Passenger Axle Replacement
Welp... I think I figured out why my front passenger ABS sensor has failed. I was putting on the summer wheels and when checking out the ABS sensor I noticed that the inner CV joint boot was completely torn. That probably has something to do with the ABS sensor failing. Must have just happened too because there is no vibration, grinding, or poping coming front the axle. It still has some grease in it. So it looks like I will be replacing the axle assembly and the sensor.
NAPA and Oreilly has both new and rebuilt CV axles. Does it really matter which one I go with? Have any of you replaced the passenger CV axle before? Just wondering if its a bitch to replace.

notice how the tip of the ABS sensor is rubbing against the finished surface of the axle. No wonder it failed.
