Default CV Shaft going bad but need opinions on what I should do!

So I don't know what I should do and I am looking for everyone's opinion. The Passenger Side CV Shaft is going bad but it will last another 3-6 months. Should I change it, take the part back, or keep it till the CV Shaft goes bad? I bought the Passenger and Driver and just changed the Driver side today and the Passenger side cracks but is not bad yet!!

You might as well change it. Its safer to just change it than wait.

really no opinions needed on that

I didnt do an alignment, if you dont mess with your spindle or ca you generally dont need an alignment.

If you feel uncomfortable get it aligned

I have done other CV Shafts before and never got an alignment before but I was just wondering. My car already pulls a little to the right so I gotta get one done anyways. But I decided to change the CV Shaft cause I flipped a bitch and it was cracking pretty bad. Thanks for your replies.
