Subject:Re: Rebuilt cv drive shaft

It's basically a choice on your part:

1 - use a rebuilt half-shaft from FLAPS, and replace it in a few years, but
it's VERY cheap ($85) and quick to install

2 - replace the CV joint with a quality new German part, maybe replace it in
a decade or more, more expensive and time consuming

Cheap/Quick/Often  VS  more money/more work/once

I chose the cheap half-shafts, $79 at O'Reilly's on sale, and I have replaced
them again in 5 years.  But then again, I'm a cheapskate.
