rebuilding cv output shaft

[gusgriff]

Need to replace CV Joint Boots on output shafts 1995 318Ti.

The price for the Boot Kits are high. Pelican $52-$62. Autohausz has the inner for $43 but no outer. The outer boot seem to be unavailable at a few parts suppliers.

Rockauto has low price but nust be shipped from UK. They also offer a Cardone Rebuild Service for $120 plus a $40 core charge. They could not answer my questions.

On Cardone website they state to call for price and question but no number listed, only email.

Does anybody has Cardone's number or experience with them?

Are there other suppliers or rebuilds that are less expensive and/or better quality.

Check with Autozone, Advance, O'Reillys, etc. the rebuilt halfshafts pricing might just be a pleasant surprise for you. Just my .02

Per Cardone: Summit, NAPA and O'Reillys are Distributors .NAPA did not show a PN for this car. Autozone and O'Reillys and offer Remans but Autozone says nor Cardone's and O'Reilly's people could not confirm Reman Shop.

AutoZone was $185 and $56 Core charge per unit and O'Reilly's was $114 and $76 Core charge per unit.
