CV boot issue (MOT)

[Shizukesa]

Hey guys!

I got 2 advisories on my MOT and since I'll be selling the IS200 soon (to buy an IS300), I'd like to get these sorted.

Advisories:

Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot severely deteriorated Nearside Rear [6.1.7(g)(i)]

Drive shaft joint constant velocity boot severely deteriorated Offside Rear [6.1.7(g)(i)]

The issue is, it doesn't say outer or inner. Is my only option to jack it up and check? It was a few months ago now so the garage probably won't be able to tell me.

Any advice please?

Thanks! 😊

Yeh just have a look under it, either way inner or outer the drive shafts will have to be removed anyway. Might be worth getting hold of some 2nd hand shafts and just throwing them in rather than strip them down to change the boots
