If you like cheap. A pair of used still with good boots from a wreck. Drain the cv lubricant and replace it. Install them on the other sides of your car in comparison to what they were on the wreck. Should outlast your car.


Very few cars will appear in wrecking yards because the rear axles failed. The issue is to find a pair with still good boots. Also there is little doubt the same axles where used on the gas cars.


Swapping the axles gives you a new wear surface. Original ones probably fail primarily because of lubrication issues. The manufacture designed a good lubricating system for these axles.


He just never considered they might be in service for thirty to forty years. Even adding a couple of ounces of thick oil with the axles on the car is still a slight maintenance attempt.


If yours have no current issues other than old boots. There will be people that can reboot and inject the right amount of lubricant out there. Just make sure to reverse the axles when replacing them. Using the thick oil as they were designed to use as a lubricant is best.
