Default DFW Area - Drivetrain/CV Axle Rebuilders

Was curious if anyone knew a reputable axle rebuilding shop in the Dallas area? Looking to get me rear CV axle shaft rebuilt. Thanks!

you could get a new one or a good used one for probably about as cheap as it would cost to have one rebuilt

That is what I was thinking but the A-Zone and Reilly ones look to be foreign made (all review searches turned up mostly negative) and unable to locate any used ones. My next avenue was to contact the local shops and see if they had any takeoffs from someone that had upgraded. Thanks for the tip!

BTW, noticed you are in the area, who do you take yours to have it aligned? That will be my next visit once I get the axle resolved.

check craigslist or junk yards for used ones, if you aren't racing the car I wouldn't worry too much... I'm sure lg has some laying around and they aren't too far from you, that is a good idea too... I align mine myself at work so I can't help with that one, surely someone else in the area can chime in... you can replace the axle without having to get an alignment if that is your concern
