Does anyone have an extra left front '92 or '93 drive axle assembly? I need one 
to use or ship to Caldone for rebuilding. 
We may need to start a pool to ensure there are replacements ready, since 
Caldone does not have a spare to rebuild. & No mechanic wants to wait 2 weeks 
for the rebuilt Original one to return.
I was on the hunt for a GKN shaft that was listed on about 30 websites, all 
belonging to US Auto Parts, for $256. It turns out this OEM manufactured shaft 
was discontinued by Worldpac distribution because we didn't buy enough of 
them. All 30 websites, like Parts Bin and Auto Parts Warehouse were continuing 
to list them and assuring me they were boxed waiting for UPS pickup. Maybe 
GKN would send over 20 units if we could make a group buy. Otherwise, a torn 
boot could be fatal.
I would like to find a new outer CV joint also. So, I WTB a left shaft. Do you have 
other suggestions like grease the one on the car and wrap it up in silicone tape 
etc.
Thanks, Bob
