are you sure that there is a broken axle ???if that's the case, you would not have been able to drive the car( car would not move) unless it was towed to the shop .. So if you drove the car in to have it checked out I highly doubt that there is a broken axle..

If the cv joint (aka axle) is making noise, then you should replace it. I don't think that you can gain too much performance out of a CV joint. I bought a new one from O'Reilly auto parts that was about the same price as a rebuilt one. So far, I have not had any problems.

If no damage to the joint has occurred, you can replace the boot, clean out the joint, add new grease, the put a new boot on there.
