Axles are $70something dollars at autozone with lifetime warranty. Just isn't worth the hassle to go any other way as cheap as they are now. Just my 2 cents.

There's a reason why those axles at AutoZone are only $70.00. That's because they are "
Made in China". Now I got nothing against things being Made in China, even my wife has the "Made in China sticker on her feet if you flip her over, and they do make a phone call the eye phone.
Unless you have been driving with a torn boot to the point that the CV joint is destroyed and is clicking even when the wheels are pointed straight, I would just clean, regrease and reboot the axle. You can also just replace the outer CV joint with a Febi CV joint (but they are probably Made in China).
Just my 2 cents.
