Subject:Re: replacement cv/axle assembly

The manual axles are the same both sides. Don't waste your money on
"rebuilt". You can buy brand new EMPI axles reasonably and no core
hassle. List vendors sell them currently for $120-135 depending on
vendor. You can even do a little better if you know where to look. On
the East coast Vanagain or Bus Depot are you best bets. Everybody sells
the same ones at that price point. I have installed them several times
and will do so again.

On the West Coast I like Van-Cafe, very prompt shipping.
