Where? every place i have been looking it's about 80.



If you are going to buy one, spend the $120 for the new GCK axle from Autozone. I'm using them now and I have nothing but good things to say about them. I've been using it for four months or so and they haven't broke from the torque of my engine yet.

Why pay $80 when you can have brand new for $120!!! Plus no core charge.

Also, you can repair axles if you pull the shaft like that. It is usually a c-clip retainer that keeps the shaft in the joint.
You can undo the old cv boot clamp and buy a new one to reclamp it on with. Actually, I've used steel wire back in my youth to reattach a boot that came loose without pulling an axle. You just keep twisting until its very tight, cut the ends and tap them over. I wouldn't do it now but... I was young and poor in those days.

Bottom line, these axles wear out anyway and even if they look good, they are probably causing driveline vibration anyway. Get the $120 unless you're as poor as I was in those days.
