I don't know how many original miles were on the CV's, the van has 238,000
km on it.  I did drive it for more than 300 miles with a noisy CV trying
to find a shop that would fix it in -30 temperatures.

I am thinking that at $165 for a brand new axel with CV's I should just
replace both.   One worry with that is that the last time I did this on my
'84 westy, the tranny went shorty after, something about new parts causing
too much stress on old parts....
