Those $65 axles look like the ones I bought last year from M*source for $300 each. I don't remember the brand name, but I'd bet it was the same.

Only a couple of thousand miles (because I have two other cars), but they're fine so far.

CVJ in Denver are a good outfit.CVJ Axles - Remanufactured Axles & Power Racks

do not buy the shit from ebay. Getting 2 used ones from a low mile car with intact boots a also good. Do both axles. Read up on the tricks involved. Ive done it 3 times over the years. Now I'm down to about 4 hours in and out. Plan on putting in new oil seals in the differential and you also get the chance to put in new dif oil and you will learn new swear words when you try to get out the fill and drain plugs. Tip: take out the fill plug first. Don't even think of trying the job without overnite PB Blaster and a propane torch to heat up the plugs real hot.

Why is it sh*t off of eBay, the guy even offeres a lifetime warranty, and there are other people on eBay selling the GPS brand for $200
