Usually, the 6 speed axels fail because the boots blew out and the CV's died from dirt and lack of lubrication; if your existing boots and axels are in good shape, repacking and new boots is much cheaper than new OEM axels..................providing the dealer will do it (many won’t, they just want to swap out parts and bill you)………….
