   if boot on shaft was open for a long period of time then the water and grit could have got in and caused wear which is now showing up

   how much would this cost to get fixed, any idea? also when im in neutral and at a stand still there is slight engine wobble and causes a very very slight vibration every now and then whilst stationary.
   
   again all help would be appreciated because i have no idea what so ever about cars.

   brand new shaft supplied and fitted approx 110 pounds,obviously without seeing the car accurate diagnosis isn't 100%, wobble on engine could be a misfire possibly an ignition fault, ie spark plug,coil pack
