Where to get a new halfshaft?
 

I am in need of a new axle, but I don't feel like spending 50 bucks for one from the parts store. Is there any merit in paying like 20 bucks for a junkyard part or will I end up regretting it?

Thanks :)

I'll give you the pair of new in the box ones I have for $50 +shipping (not sure how much that would be.)

You can get junkyard parts, I do it... it's just that if it's bad, you either get stuck with a bad axle again, or you have to do the work more than once.

I would take you up on the offer but I only need one :p

I would like you to find me a block off plate and driver side front fender inner liner though :p

I don't think I would risk a junk yard part. My jetta had the RH outer CV joint explode into pieces. I only replaced the outer CV Joints ($83 ea.), greased my inner CV's and kept my axles.

I wish I could get mine for 50 bucks. :P

Which one do you need?

I don't have the block off plates, I thought I did, but they're gone. I'm frankly just trying to sell off all the Honda crap that I have... There's lots of it.

I'll check and see if my HF has that inner fender liner or not, and let you know.

I'll do either axle for $30 + Shipping, since I have to separate them that way, and if I have that fender liner, I'll just throw that in for the cost of the extra shipping if you want.

I would gladly take you up on that deal, sir :)

Can you txt? Either way, PM me and we'll talk.

I've never seen an axle shaft go unless the boot was ripped. For a junkyard part, check it out good first.

Another plus if you have a u-pull-it yard is you get the experience of doing the job when removing the old one. Learn any pitfalls on the junkyard car, not your own.

It was ripped about 2 years ago, when I repacked and replaced it. Musta got some dirt in there though

Hehe, I wish you hadn't typed up so much, since I've done it several times :D

However, you should repost that as "how to replace a honda axle"
