Axle shaft: OEM or aftermarket?
Hi everyone,
My '09 L322 Autobiography has a torn front drivers side outer CV boot. My mechanic recommends (and I agree) to replace the whole axle. Since we don't know how long it's been torn it's possible that some debris has gotten in and could have caused damage to the CV joint.
The OEM part runs about $600. There are aftermarket brands and rebuilt ones out there. I think I'd rather get new than rebuilt.
Any comments on aftermarket brands or where to buy it?
Thanks in advance!
Larry.

I ended up ordering the OEM part from a local Land Rover dealer for $585 plus sales tax.
Thanks!
