A new OE/OEM axle might make sense if you plan to put another 250k miles of the vehicle. I probably won't drive my 300D more than another 15K in my (or the car's) lifetime, so I am going to reboot and call it good enough. I believe that keeping my existing axles is a far better option than new Chinese parts, which would be a bit cheaper and a lot less up-front hassle. |
Best OE price I found, was from Skyland in Asheville, NC:

Where did you find the $400 axles?
My situation is same as yours. I may have my 300D for another 10 years but it probably will only do another 20k miles.
Rebooting my existing axles is my first choice, but how to do it? Not worth buying the gun and being in Canada, impractical to rent. Cone a possibility.
Anyone know what cvj reman charge for their rebuilds?
