$925 is SUPER steep. They give you a handy job/ happy ending at that price?? LOL
My only problem with a split boot is that there is a possibility that you picked up some dirt or contaminant that has et away at the bearings inside the joint.
I've heard stories on the ole interwebs that people flush out the outer joints with no problems. Seems legit with enough acetone. Just would take a lot of acetone.
I personally wouldn't cheap out on a CV axle bearing (I cheap out on a lot of other things). Get the OE bearing brand (hint it doesn't have to read Porsche on the box).
