What local vendor is giving lifetime warranty for $59.99? Does he know how fast our cars go thru CV's??

Maffia? Don't think Lifetime has anything to do with the car do you?

They are checking availability - if it comes through, I will post the name. Called everyone. This gentleman I talked too was honest, he said every once and a while they get a bad one. But, they have a nation wide guarantee he said.
It was either O'Rielly Automotive or Car Quest - I can't remember which one. Sounds like too good a deal too me, hopefully they call me back Monday.

OK, go to O'Reilly Automotives web site and search, you will find half shafts for $59.99 with a core charge of $100.00 and a lifetime warranty. Only trouble is, they said they can't get them, it has to go through a "dealer", whatever that means. Bummer, I am checkin with the MFG to find out what's up.
CarQuest is still checking availability, but they are at $81.53 with a one year warranty and I forgot to get the core change . . . .
Hope this helps -

FWIW, I bought a pair of Löbro OE CV joints at a European auto parts supplier here in the Caribbean that specializes in VWs for $47 each.
Part Number for the early cars is:
211.501.331
I'm boning up on the DIY in Haynes and just may give it a shot this weekend. Swapping axles would be easier, but it's a PITA for me to have to ship the core to get the deposit back.

CarQuest called - they can get a half shaft, ReMan, for $81.53 plus shipping, plus core charge.
I think I still want to buy new CV's and just rebuild these . . .

For what it's worth, I ordered the axle assembly from autozone last week for my 87 944 turbo and received this:
which had this on the other end:
Not exactly what I was expecting! I have no idea what car this axle is for... any thoughts?
