    I'm looking at Parts Geek online and they have a front axle set for a decent price of $166 dollars. It's the TRQ brand. Is this a good reliable aftermarket brand?

    Is there any way to recondition your originals?

    IMHO; anyone that will give you a lifetime warranty on those half shafts. They usually don't wear-out; do they have torn boots; leaking? Since your buying the parts; I'm assuming your going to replace them yourself, so a lifetime warranty may be worth it.

    Unfortunately, no. The boots are not torn so it's an internal wear.

    I've seen many car with more than 300K+ miles on them with their original half-shafts - no issues. Seen cars with less than 100K miles with torn or leaking half-shaft boots - not worn-out or making noises, just throwing grease everywhere. I would get a professional to verify the diagnosis; since it's highly unlikely with intact CV boots, that half-shaft is worn-out.

    Just my 2-cents; since I don't know the circumstances...
