As I had expected, my friendly neighborhood Pcar mechanic told me yesterday that both of my inner CV boots were ripped and the CVs themselves were dry of grease. That being the case, I think it would be in my best interest to replace the axles instead of just greasing the joints and replacing the boots since they are probably worn by now after driving with no grease.

So, here's my question: After looking at Pelican Parts and a few other places, it appears that OEM Porsche axles are somewhere around $750 each. Searching on Google, I've found Boxster S axles for around $58 each! That's quite a difference. Dos anyone have any experience with these aftermarket axles or know where to get OEM or quality replacement axles for a better price?
