Default Good source for reman. Cv axles?

Any of you guys know of a good place to buy cv axles from? I've checked autozone that orders from cardone but they're out. 944online has oem ones (do not want) and new aftermarket unpacked for about 140. I replaced one last month with a cardone from autozone and it was prepacked and very easy to install. It looked like a quality product also and a bit beefier than the stocker.
I wanted another just like it but might be out of luck.
Any ideas or suggestions? The one I didn't replace has started clicking under acceleration and it's getting worse...

just buy new cv joints. install is very easy. Quality of CVs can not be determined by looking at them. Quality has to do with the heat treatment.

And where can we get them new for a good price?

Did you install them already?
Are they good by your standards?

$70 from O'Reily's... lifetime warranty.... I can't get OEMs to live so I went cheap and with the warranty, when they start clacking, I replace them.

Dang, I dunno if mine have a lifetime warranty or not. I replace mine when they start clicking also. The stock ones do seem quite scrawny really.

I get it in tomorrow and I'll take pics of the axles.
