www.rockauto.com is also a good source for remanufactured/new parts with very reasonable prices, plus one of their distribution centers is located in IN.

They might bamachem, I just don't like having to use the "lifetime warranty" repeatedly.
I've tried the AutoZone parts and I've always had to replace them again and again. While I've gotten pretty good and quick with alot of parts replacing, that's not the reason why I'd made the purchases to start with and/or, I did'nt need or want to buy something that required me to practice exchanging it again and again and again.
While I've had good experiences with other services that they offer, I've not been all that impressed with their parts..., it's kinda like they've got so much business going that they tend to overlook the little stuff (like proper torque on a bolt or nut) when it's usually the little stuff that counts.
Plus, the remaned axles are $60 or less (can't remember for sure, it's been awhile since I made the purchase) from www.rockauto.com, which I've also found to be a great source for just about all my other automotive needs.

Great info...
At Rock auto I can get a :
A1 CARDONE Part # 605009
Front Left {[CV Half-Shaft Assembly] Reman.} - $65.89 (+ $100 core)
or
CARDONE SELECT Part # 665009
Front Left {[CV Half-Shaft Assembly] New} - $ 119.79 outright
Sounds like the recommendation is the New one ? right ??
