[V8] V8 CV Axles

[Jason Wilkerson]

$55 for the whole rebuilt axle is kinda cheap, makes me wonder what materials are in it?  If it is just the outer cv that has the tear, I would just replace the outer joint.  The kit I would buy is a good quality German kit and comes with the joint, boot, and grease.  Call Scott @ Northside imports 1.877.519.5573.  Tell Him Jason Wilkerson sent you.  Although once you mention you have a v8 quattro he will think of me anyway.  Good luck.
