well, i already told you that, hehe. i would rather keep the stock axle and change the cv joint only, it takes me 15 minutes.

reason being, the oem axles are very very good, and its extremely hard to find good replacements without ordering 10 sets and trying them out. some people say get this and get that but in the end you get screwed with something bad, if the axles are good you should keep them and just change the cv joint.

i just ordered one from ebay from deutschepartsusa

i think i ordered them from him before and they were EXACTLY like oem, so I'm sticking with him again.

but the problem might be, the last ones i got from him (still assuming it was him) the boot was not exactly the same and it kept slipping off the cv joint, I had an extra boot though so I was lucky for the time being, until I decided to clean the abs speed sensor, i pushed it back in too much and it screwed up the abs ring on the cv joint and then when I was getting it removed with a drill, i didn't put the cv joint back in properly and had a mechanic come over and he decided to use a hammer on my rotors to get the axle in the wheel hub, causing the rotors to warp. ajajaj, then the boot slipped, couple months later the cv joint blew, i put back an old one and just ordered the new one. crazy story...
