Seriously, I think you mean "output shafts", not "axle shafts". You certainly want to buy a hardened output shaft for a C5. Since you have it torn down, replace both left and right. The output shafts are available from a number of vendors. I purchased a whole differential from RPM transmissions.

By the way, if you just fix what's broke, and don't change out the left output shaft, it will be the next to go....I'd change them both, and enjoy your days at the track !
