SOURCE: I need to replace the
On a regular US/Asian car you replace the entire shaft. Reason being it is cheaper to get a rebuilt exchange than to take the shaft to a machine shop have them take it apart put on a new boot and reassemble it. I would think the same principle would be at play on a German car but who knows.
The el cheapo way to do this on a normal car is to buy a replacement "split boot" at a parts store. This is put on with some very high tech rubber to steal glue and zip ties and will get you through until the shaft itself fails and the labor to remove and replace the whole enchilada is justified. The split boots come in two generic sizes.
Good Luck
