[V8] V8 CV Axles

[Jason Wilkerson]

Did you ever try Scott at northside?  I really think he could help you with at least the outer cv kit.  Probably cheaper then getting a rebuild and you are getting the outside new just like a rebuild.  The inner ones seem to last forever anyway.  If you want to replace the boot on the inner he would probably have that as well.  Good luck.
