Honestly that's up to you to check for any sort of damage to the CV joint. If it's messed up, then just get a new axle. Changing the boot is kind of a PITA anyways, might be more worth your time just to change the axle and be done with it.

Check rockauto.com for prices, Nw Cv axle is cheap and worth changing compared to hassle of changing just the boot
