Chaiyz - the S version of the Boxster are quite hard on the drive shafts and boots because of the angle of the stub axle / gearbox mounting. Its not uncommon to have to replace the boots every 50,000 miles or less - preferably all 4 of them.
Don't go near the el-cheapo drive shafts - use the search function to get some idea of how long they last - which is not very long.
If the bearings / universals are still OK and haven't been driven dry, you can just get the axle boots & grease etc. in a kit from Pelican Parts - part #101P-986-P041C or just buy the boots & grease only for just a few $$'s, which is what I did.
