'95 Passat GLX, 118,000 miles
I have one bad CV joint, and might as well replace both axles because of the milage. The car also needs struts and tires, so needless to say I am going to speed some $$$, and am looking to save a few dollars, if it is not a foolish savings.
So, are there any GOOD rebuilt axles available for VWs, or should I just go ahead and buy new ones? Any preferred brands?
Thanks!
The rebuilt will be fine ~ I strolled over to busdepot.com and they offer your axles for ~ $75 ea.
I put a rebuilt one from pep boys on my 89 jet a couple of years ago and it seems to be fine.
But why swap the other > '95 Passat GLX, 118,000 miles
Call around to AutoZone or Advanced Auto Parts for pricing. Several years ago I got rebuilt axles for an old Jetta for $90 each with lifetime warranty!
How far behind can the other be? I might as well get it now.

Still it makes me wary with rebuilts, and that's why I was asking.
Thanks for the info!

I had bad luck with a replaced driveaxle. Its boot broke after 3 years and I had to replace it. The original VW boots kept for 14 years straight.
