Correct. Happened to me last Labor Day and caused me to crash @ Road America. Cost a lot more to repair than the price of the axles... and I still had to replace the axles.

Cv joint is about 300$ and you can only replace inners

Where may one source the CV joints ? I have several axles with some play in otherwise good state that I'd like to refresh.

I just paid 440 euro / piece for new black axles. (without VAT)

I think the correct part no. for the CV joint is 928.332.030.08

ECS shows about $250, which is the best I have seen for this.

FVD shows over $400 for the same part

Does anyone know the weight difference Blue vs Black?

good hands

Cup car Newbie here. My car came with one blue and one Black. Is this a bad idea ?
I am assuming so since there is a difference in weight. Cheapest I have found blacks is 869.00 each. Anyone find anything better ?

analogmike

I believe the blue axles came down in price recently, check with PMNA, maybe a special?

good hands

Yup down to 2400 each . Black is still s bargain at that price

993PET

Here you go $828.15

If it's in the budget, upgrading to the 2nd gen (green,yellow) axles is a good way to go. Bigger diameter shaft and bigger and vented inner joint. You have to change the transmission flanges but the newer style axle seems to be a lot more durable and is close in price to the blue if I recall correctly. The later 997 rear undertray also has ducting to channel air directly to the inner joint. Not a bad thing to do and isn't crazy expensive.
