They are not the same, different number of splines. If the stub that goes into the front differential is okey you may possibly be aple to split the inner CV-boot and merge a shaft from 2.8 to the inner stub. I am not quite sure. But a driveshaft from a V6 3.0 will fit.

Just the inner cv boot is split but looking at the Haynes manual
It will be less stress just putting a complete new driveshaft on

Replacing the boots is not a stressful job. Be sure you have the correct boot kit, I bought mine from Mitsubishi, and use a quality CV joint grease. If your current boot is split, then the components will need a deep clean to rid the steel balls and races of dirt and water.

Working on a bench or table makes laying out easier, and as you've seen in the manual, you'll need a circlip plyer.

Yes it is really simple to change the CV-boot once you got the axle out.

- Cut the circlips
- Cut the boot
- Take out the large ciclip (metal ring) in the larger inner cup/shaft
- Pull the axle out of the cup
- The balls/bearing on the end of the outer axle are fastned to the axle with a circlip (C-type). Take of the circlip and the "head" will slide off.
- Put the new CV-boot on the shaft
- Grease with the supplied grease that comes with the new CV-boot.
Put it all back together.
