With CV joints disappearing (actually gone), has anyone ever purchased those rebuilt half-shafts, like what A1 Cardone makes.

How do they rebuild the CV joints? Are they redrilled with larger bearings and cages?

What's up with them?

i've used rebuilt halfshafts in my GTI; no problems and they did have a hard life in that car.

there is a size range on the balls - probably down in the 4th or 5th decimal point. the joints are disassembled, cleaned, the obvious junk parts discarded, then they're re-assembled with balls at the upper end of the size range, regreased, new boots, wrap & ship.
