Mike104 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Best option is a pull and pay auto wrecker or a used part from an auto wrecker. Cheap Chinese ones from chain auto parts stores don't have a good reputation as they can cause vibrations in idle. Front or rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 How bad is yours? Does it just need new boots or it is completely shot? Boots are pretty easy. But otherwise Yes good Used Subaru half shaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 1. maybe it's not the CV axle. 2. you should tell us the problems you're having and what is exactly is wrong. If it is the axle - used axles are $15-$30 all day long. look for a green inner housing (this indicated it's an OEM SUbaru axle). www.car-part.com You can use 2000-2004 legacy/outback axles, they have better, longer lasting, boots, and in some areas are easier to find than 90's stuff. Or you can simply reboot your existing axle if it's Subaru. If it's an aftermarket axle don't even bother rebooting it, just get a used Subaru axle.

uniberp1 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 A half shaft parts and labor should cost your about $200 by "someone", which I assume you meant some non-professional. The part alone is about $100 and they are readily available. For a questionable car it really doesn't matter what you install. Getting someone to pull one off a wrecked car will cost you about the same. Since the car has not been running in a year there are many other things that could be wrong, such as bad gas, rusted exhaust, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
