December 13, 201312 yr I'm in Colorado on the front range and would love to get something locally. It is a '78 Leone I'm shopping for.
December 20, 201312 yr Julianco, Tried to reply before, don't know why it didn't post. I just got a set for my '79 4wd wagon and it wasn't easy. Going thru rockauto or another parts house usually means it is a rebuild service and that seemed a little sketchy to me. These things are like hen's teeth and I waqsn't too keen on shipping mine off to get them back who knows when. I wound up geting a set through a transmission shop down in Baltimore. Jim Jennings was he name of the place. If you have a good tranny/driveline shop near you, they may have a good source to try. The bottom line is that a shop is going to have better parts resources than what is available to you or me. And if they are a good outfit, they won't skin you for getting the parts ordered in for you. At least that's what I found. Hope this helps and good luck!
January 2, 201412 yr Check with Shawn, I believe there is a place here in Denver that rebuilds them. I have a used set in back of my Brat at Shawn's. set on parts Brat also.
January 12, 201412 yr Author Back late to this, but CVJ in Denver made some up that are going in tomorrow. I was told that the OReilly Chinese ones don;t hold up to well. Any experience here? The CVJs look great.
January 16, 201412 yr My oriellys ones have held up fine so far. Been daily driving 40 miles round trip to work and back on lowered STIFF AND I MEAN STIFF suspension with no issues for about 3 or 4 months now
June 10, 201411 yr Just bought mine at Carquest for $145 for the front axles out the door. Fit great, full warranty as well...
June 13, 201411 yr There is a guy in Denver that rebuilds axles. "www.retroroo.com" talk to Shawn These guys have real good rep http://www.cvaxles.com Good luck...
June 20, 201411 yr I have a pair of axles from a 78 Wagon 4WD that are still good but probably rebuild candidate cores, I have new axles and don't need them.
