I have always found the NAPA rebuilt shafts to be an excellent choice. I've replaced four total. Two on a rabbit diesel (may it rest in peace), and two on my old gti (I am still in mourning)

You know what that means, I get underneath and find a pinhole size leak in one of the joints of the outer CV boot. I look, and the inner boot doesn't appear to be in that great of shape. So I could buy a inner and outer boot kit, replace them both. I've done this before, it takes a fair amount of time, and is very messy. Or buy a new/rebuilt axle and just bolt it on. The axle on the car is original AFAIK. I guess I know my options, I'm just wanting someone to tell me to buy the axle so I don't have to do the rebuild. I'm afraid my duct tape patch won't hold for long. GBergthold
