Half Shafts for 4kq; LOBRO only?

[Joshua Van Tol]

Lobro is OE, and their parts are VERY good indeed. I never use rebuilt
half shafts because the rebuilders use cheap parts. They are not up to
original equipment quality by a long shot.

Buy new lobro joints, and use lobro or equivalent quality boot kits,
and they'll last a long time.
