FW: Rebuilt axle assembly

[Livolsi, Stephane]

UAP/NAPA has rebuilt axles for just under $100 Can that come with a lifetime
warranty.
Incidentally, I have replaced both of my front axles with these, and just
last weekend replaced the outer boot on the axle I replaced about 3-4 yrs
ago.  CV is still in good shape.

FWIW
