Try these guys...
Constant Velocity of Ocala They are highly recomended over on the USMB. I spoke with them about a year ago, I believe the cost was about $55, you then have a month to send your core back to them, or they will charge you.

You could also try raxles. When I spoke to them on the phone, they said that they use new CV joints.

Got mine at auto zone about 60 bucks after core. Fast and no shipping to deal with. TRUST ME WHEN I SAY 1/8" PUNCH NOT 1/4"!! When removing roll pins!! Good Luck!!

A 3/16" inch punch is an even better match.

I just did mine this weekend, and I think it's the same one you're looking at. Or at least, it cost the same, about $70 + $40 core. The one I got did not match the OEM shaft on the outer end where the axle nut attaches. The new one sticks out much further from the hub and has different threading, so you're stuck with the 36mm nut that came with it as opposed to using the factory 32mm nut. They're ordering a new one for me in case this one was a fluke, but if you get it from AA, I would double check to be sure it'll work.

Here's a pic of it installed. It seems to work fine, but I can't put the dust cover back on because of how far it sticks out.

Finally got mine replaced with the correct one. The Car Component Technology (CCT) reman shaft listed at Advance Auto, Napa and Carquest are wrong. I finally ended up with one from Oreilly's which was a Cardone reman and was an exact match. Remember to remove the dust cover over the bearing from the old shaft and install it on the new one before sticking it on the car.

do you have a part no.? was the cost the same?

kuoh · #11 11-12-2005, 05:32 PM

The Advance Auto part number is 19870647 and it was $69.88 after core return. The Oreilly's part number was 60-7209 and it was $59.99 after core return. I don't know what the CCT and Cardone part numbers are, but if the place you get yours from says theirs is CCT or Car Components, just say no.

Could've told ya that about advance if I saw the sight sooner. The axle they say is for an SVX is a Loyale inner and legacy outer. The legacy axle works just fine though on an SVX for future ref.
