Title: CV Axle Recommendation 78 Eldorado
Post by: eldorado_boyblue on April 10, 2014, 05:19:24 PM
I'm going to be replacing my front passenger-side CV Axle on my '78 and I wanted to make sure before I order the part that it will be compatible with the car. I've heard stories about people putting in the wrong part and not finding out until months later when it unexpectedly breaks, yikes.

I've found a couple on eBay that aren't too much, wondering if these should do fine?

One from Cardone, remanufactured:

One from Duralast, new:

A reputable local auto parts store can supy a new or rebuilt axle with no shipping fees like you wod pay on ebay. Dont trust an ebay seller to supply the right part.

In my opinion.

Yeah, I stopped by Autozone and it looks like they have the new Duralast one for $80, probably just going to do that.
