toyota want about 400 dollars a side for my application, they do not sell rebuilts for this model as it is a one year only car, 2002 camry solara 2.4 - old body style with the 2.4 2AZ-FE engine and the electric shift partial lockup transmission. (Only oddball difference in axles being the shaft length)
I thought of buying a toyota rebuilt shaft for an older model and dismantle it, but abandoned it as its too long to wait and then play with black grease so I thought of buying a new outer joint.
The toyota rebuilt axle actually has a new outer joint on it, they just reclaim the shaft and the inner if its usable (which it usually is)
in toyota's genius move they decided its best to sell a CV with shaft as one assembly, which is stupid - the outer cv is just like all other items with the circlip to lock it to the shaft.
