Thanks for that. I'm assuming NTN is the OEM supplier to Subaru? I see the green colour on the cups is the same as the ones used on Subarus. Would the NTN part numbers be stamped somewhere on the outside by any chance? I need to do both the inner and outer joints. That EDJ does look like it might be it.

From http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/topic/96433-axle-rebuild/ where can one source new OEM parts for, Car in question is a 2005 Outback 2.5i, VIN: JF2BP9KLA5G0171xx Engine: C2544xx The insides of the axle cups are quite badly worn (groove part where the balls sit) as well as some parts of the inner races. So I suspect one would require new complete cup assemblies. Secondly these axles have 8 balls and not 6. It's original axles from Subaru and apparently the the 8 ball configuration is less common. Any ideas where to source the above parts (preferably as a kit) as I'm considering rebuilding them myself? Boots, nuts, spring clips & clips should be easy to source locally but probably cheaper in the US.
