However, I don't know if they have bus/van axles nor do I know how much they will charge (GTI axles cost $99) but the axles come assembled and prelubed! That in itself justifies buying the whole axle, I HATE lubing cv joints!>> I, too, HATE lubing CVs. I just finished removing & lubeing my CVs this afternoon. YUCK!!! Besides that, I don't feel very confident with these JC Whitney CVs I bought for $65 each. I am doing the lube because I heard the tiniest clik from one side. Upon inspection, they look fine. Who knows how long they will last. I only installed them last summer. Come to think of it, One of the CVs I installed last year self destructed. JC Whitney replaced it no charge. Still don't feel any better about them. James, could you dig up that 800 number. I have this sinking feeling I'll need it. -Gregg 85 Westy, 76 Goldwing, 51 Plymouth, 75 Mercedes...need more toys!
