Actually very cheap surprisingly. Front cv axles are $75 for a new complete cv axle with a lifetime warranty. I really tried to save this one after mushrooming the passenger side one a few weeks back. Just wasn't in the cards. Well at least both front axles will be new now and have a lifetime warranty.

Yeah at $75 each side for the fronts with a limited lifetime warranty, I just change them if they are in the 100K zone.
 Duralast Gold CV Axle 10510N - Read Reviews on Duralast Gold #10510N When my passenger side outer boot began to bleed grease at ~103K miles, I tore down the whole front end to replace all the ball joints, bushings, arms and CV axles. Now I can look forward to trouble free front end components for quite a few miles. Mike

Drove 60 miles round trip to get the cv axle, an axle puller and an axle press.
The press didn't fit to great but it did force the bad cv axle end out of the hub. The puller is supposed to pull the axle from the transmission or in our case the front diff. Yeah right. Way to small to fit the axle..... The axle came out fine when I pulled it out to press it out the first time. Now I cant get it back out to put the new axle in. Grrrrrr. In the house cooling off before something gets broke at this rate.

The last of the old cv axle is out. Got a good 8 feet of hang time before it hit the ground. That sucker was stuck in there good.
Now the new cv is installed in the diff but I cant get the outer part into the hub. But Im not going to force anything. Ive been going at it with a metal bristle toothbrush I have for cleaning parts. Over heated again so back to cooling off for a bit.

Well when I went back at it and finally decided I would just start bolting everything back up in place of trying to force the axle in the thing slipped in FULLY. I mean ALL the threads showing. I wasn't even trying to put the axle in and it went in all the way.
This thing is possessed. Well I finished up the install and took it for a spin and it drove perfect and made no noise roar wise. The passenger side swaybar end link I had partially loosened and forgot to tighten back was popping but I fixed that when I got back from the test drive. Hopefully that is the last heavy repair for at least a week or so. I need time to heal.....

And had new tyres fitted (the only thing I didn't do myself). All in the last month. My bank account needs time to heal!

Tires are next on the menu in the big ticket money wise department.
Not looking forward to that one.
