I drove a Ford Taurus for years with a broken boot so I guess it depends
on your driving conditions and how lucky you are. The joint was cleaned
and regreased and a new boot put on. The time without the boot did
damage the joint and it has started making a some noise on turns. My
suggestion is that you take it easy on turns. If it makes a whole lot of
noise, forget about driving it and find somebody to help you replace
that joint.

Thank you all for the advice. I will check around to find a better
price. Before finding one, I will just take it easy on turning
whenever possible.
Thanks,
