I have read what forum members think about getting good axles;
while i agree on buying quality, this repair I can't afford it.

So, while digging around for cheapo axles, I discovered Napa sells 'new' half shafts for the same price as their reman ones. $100. both 'lifetime' warranty.

Anyone hear of or have experience with Napa or other 'new' axles?

Constant Velocity (CV) Driveshaft - Left Rear - New (Ultra 8)
w/ 8mm Threaded Bolt ATM 0651401 $103.99

just for laughs I saw this i another post:
Buying auto parts is a little like buying oats. If you want nice new clean shiny oats you have to pay the price, but if you are willing to settle for oats that have already been through the horse...
