It is going to cost you to replace them later, parts and a couple hours labor at the prevailing rate. Why not consider having them inspect the axels for wear and just repack and replace the boots while it is apart? Usually, the 6 speed axels fail because the boots blew out and the CV's died from dirt and lack of lubrication; if your existing boots and axels are in good shape, repacking and new boots is much cheaper than new OEM axels..................providing the dealer will do it (many wont, they just want to swap out parts and bill you)
