1998 Suzuki KQ - Rear Axle

[vcrazy8]

The rear axle has some slop in the CV boot where it goes into the transmission. How much play is normal. It is not making any noise. Can that joint be replaced and if so where to get parts. I have replaced CV joints and u-joints in cars just not atv's Thanks

Ok thanks. Most of the play seems to be coming from the rubber boot closest to transmission. It had the Independent rear.

The rear axles on these are not CV joints. They are U-joints. Cut the band's off the boot and slide it off to inspect.
