I see from your sig you have a 6spd, do you have the R180s? and what year is the car? if 06-07 axles will work for you, I've got a set.

confused. I did mine on my RS and the Axels where cheap as hell. I think I paid 60.00 a side (Whole Axel) and it took me maybe 2 hours for both sides.

Just do it yourself and replace everything

If the joints aren't making any noise you can re-boot and repack. To do both boots (inner & outer) on one axle runs $194.00+tax for most cars at Mastro. If you feel like doing it yourself I would recomend replacing the entire axle shaft over doing the boot (easier for the home mechanic to do)., but make sure you get a quality axle.

Im new to Subaru/import performance (my other car is an 05 Vette w452rwhp) and am looking for a shop to do some upgrades (exhaust, headers, sway bars, etc.). Any recommendations?
