just go to autozone and get lifetime warranty ones.

Do a search, there is a DIY on this:

I've heard the Autozone axles are junk - sure they have the warranty but you have to take the whole thing apart to replace them again. My advice is to find a good axle rebuilder in your area.

I bought mine from ebay. No problems but a decent rebuilder can do the same and be local in case of any problems.

why don't you do yours? New boot and grease clamps, all.unless they shot!
I think ther's a rebuilder in Co. they only do subaru axels I don't know the company name, sorry, but if you do a search you can find it

You have to practically remove the axle to regrease and reboot them anyway, and when I checked the boots were at least $20 each. Might as well just spend the $40 on a totally rebuilt axle.
