Best deal for front CV shaft?

[ChristinBrian2004]

Hello, My girlfriend has a 2004 SR5 with a V6 and I saw the grease globs on her A-arms and found a ripped boot on one and a missing metal clamp on the other. When searching, I've found prices from $35 to $190. I know the boots are only $7 or so, but it does have 200k on it, so I don't mind replacing the shafts.

This is just a daily driver with occasional drives up the fire trails to our shooting spot. I found a few threads about aftermarket (auto zone and Napa) shafts binding at full droop, relative to OEM.

sorry if this is the wrong place, I tried a search and got alot of info, but nothing on who sells a quality replacement that won't break the bank.

Just FYI...

A-1 Cardone = remanufactured parts

Cardone = new parts

I just bought two new ones for $43.79 each from Rockauto. I also just picked up the axle seals from my local Toyota dealer... $9.97 for one and $16.55 for the other. They're two different sizes.

New Cardones on mine from Rockauto as well. Oddly the new were less than the rebuilt shafts.

I have to replace my right side on my 4WD. If I get it online... what parts, seals, grease do I need? I already changed the wheel bearing on the right and now the boots busted. I appreciate the diy guides from y'all. Just need a little parts lists to get it right.
