Default cv joint question

my cv joints are bad...all of them. my car clunks like no other. if i buy new axles, will they come with both the inner and outer cv joints? and do i need to replace the boots also?

cv joints normally click when they are dying.

yea, it's not my control arms, i just had the recall done a few weeks ago. thanks for your help guys, you may have saved me a few hundred bucks there.

EDIT: any suggestions on a good place to find these things. i checked the parts bin and shokan, i'll do some more searching when i get back from class....thanks again guys.

i'm out in california. i wouldn't be able to send mine out to have them rebuilt though. my blazer's out of commission right now, and i have way too many responsibilities to be without a car. i was hoping to find a pair new, or even a used pair with not alot of miles on them.

you don't want to buy new way to much $ if you could find a used pair that would work but like I said I haven't seen this done yet on any A4's we have had here
