Blown CV joint?

[raceredftw]

Heard some intermittent clicking, got under the car to try and find the source and found a spray of what looks like gear lube in a circular pattern around the joint (see imgur link - it it wouldn't let me directly upload the picture here). Can this be repaired? Or am I gonna need a new half shalf?

clean it and check to see if the boot is ripped , if so then it can be fixed but all the time taking it out to replace the boot ya might as well get a new shaft

If still under warranty, just get a whole new half shaft.

I'm out of warranty, but am gonna go ahead and get a whole new halfshaft.

Looking at my options, I don't think I need an 800hp axle. I haven't done it yet, but the most I'll do to this car power-wise will be headers and a tune. I was going to order a "new" take-off rear axle with zero miles on it from eBay, but then saw there's a GT350 axle upgrade kit for not too much more cash.

Does anybody have this, or have an opinion on whether it's worth it?

For $50, I got a set of take off's locally from a guy that supercharged and added the 800 HP shafts. Look around for deals.....
