Tosh-
Yes, I serviced all the CeeVee boots on all my cars + friend's cars and frankly, I do not see why not replacing the inner CeeVee boots when you already have the shaft off the car? (anohter 15 mins of work will save you a bundle down the road).
Also: I do not see the need for vinyl lubricant or Armouraull or similar. CeeVee boots die from the following:
(1) gradual material deterioriation: all synthetic rubber CeeVee boots will swell the moment they come into contact with hydrocarbon lubricant (CeeVee grease). To me this is a sure sign that eventually, all boots will fail
(2)aging: road debris, exposure to ground ozone, etc. all contributes to the aging process of these rubber boots
(3)heat cycles introduced by the grease inside the joint: remember that aside from confining the grease inside the boot so as to prohibits it from coming into outside contamination, one of the things the CVjoint/CV boot does is that during the use, the CV joint dies generates some heat and got carried away by the internal flowing grease. While this can be dissipated by the boot (limited amount of course, given the fact that the boot itself is made of thermal insulating material), the rest of the metal body of the joint helps in dissipating the heat as well.
The longest CeeVee joint I've seen lasted 13 years before the cracks took the best of it (still holds grease and not tear-through). The worst CV boot I've seen lasted 1.5 yrs...due to solvent attack
