All,

SyncroBeast is in serious need of Front Axels!  The Right one is a bit
loose, but the left outer Front has to be no more than an empty housing
with a worn off knuckle inside!

I checked the local NAPA, and he doesn't have, not without MORE money, and
my cores to rebuild.  (Mt. Holley, New Jersey)  I'm not sure if that means
he can't get locally from his normal rebuilding source, or if NAPA National
can't get.  NAPA does list the axels on-line.  They want $88 per axel, plus
$56 core on line.

I supose I shouldn't complain.  60 k miles ago I swapped the fronts left
for right because the right outer CV was making a bit of noise.
SyncroBeast now has 170 k miles on her, so I guess it's time to replace.


Does anyone have a set of front Syncro Axels? or can get parts for reasonable?

I remember a couple of people who were parting out a couple of Syncro's,
but have lost the posts.
