Price Difference In Drive Axle Assembly
mbugs replied to mbugs's topic in 986 Series (Boxster, Boxster S)
Yeah, that is why I'm asking the question; how can $60 support the cost just on material alone. I've decided to buy the CV boot kit. But there are 2 types of boot clamp that comes with the kit on the market and none lists what type it comes with. Does anyone suggests a specific type of clamp that is better for this car? I need to buy the clamp plier or at least see if reg. plier will work. -

Because a lot of parts sources are pushing cheap Chinese made knock off axle assemblies that are no where near the quality of the OEM units....... Would it be better to purchase the CV joint kit then? Or just CV boot kit? How would the condition of the axle be? My car has 73,000 miles on it. -
Hello, does anyone know why a drive axle assembly is cheaper than a CV joint kit? I have a 01 boxster S that has a ripped passenger side inner CV boot. While pricing out the parts I notice I can get a drive axle assembly for as little as $60, but a CV joint kit cost $85 from the same web store. Am I correct to think that an axle assembly contains the CV joint with both inner and outer boot already assembled? And in them the assembled CV joint?? Can someone shed some light for me? Thanks.
