Don, we have these in new EMPI version for $125.  The Manual Trans
shafts are interchangeable from side to side.  The Automatic axles have
to be for a specific side.  I have been selling the EMPI new axles for
over a year now and I have had no problems with them.  They are a brand
new axle with new CV joints and boots already installed.  They come
ready to go except you do need to pack the joints with the CV grease
that comes with it (no one pre-packs the joints for you, rebuilt or
new).  I have rebuilt axles as well, but the advantage of the new,
beside being all new, is that there is no core and no need to ship a
core back to me.  If you are only in Rhode Island I would say shipping
to you would probably only be $15.  You would not have to pay sales tax
so that would save you some money.  You can order online or just give me
a call.

Thanks,
Ken Wilford
