Actually the Lobro joints for Buses and at least early Vanagons can be gotten from Bus Depot for $50 each. If you really need them, you may have to go local, in which case you will probably pay close to $65 each. But that's just the joints, not the boot kits or driveshaft. So $82 per axle does sound suspiciously low. But hey, with a lifetime warranty -- depends on how many times you want to get under there and do the CV replacement job! :-)
