    CV drive shaft replace in pairs?

    Hey,

    My driver's side CV drive shaft is severed in two pieces. My passenger side's CV drive shaft is fine. Do I need to replace both the left and right side or can I just replace the broken side. Thanks.

    Cool, do you know what that oil seal is call that I should replace when I take out the drive shaft that connects to the transmission? I need to get a new one of those when I order my drive shaft.
