    Could you wipe some of the grease off and take a pic? Hard to see how it broke. That's why when my cv boot tore, I just bought a new boot to keep the axle, the stock ones seem pretty good. Many aftermarket axles get problems.

    lol it's fine, I figured out where it was. It's interesting to see people going to the dealer for something like a cv axle because of bad aftermarket designs.

    I replaced mine on my 02 GT it was the passenger side one and the next day I found out it went bad again. They motor mount was collapsed and the axle was rubbing the subframe and it split. They replaced the part under warranty but it sucked dealing with that greasy mess. Anyway that cars long gone so Im releaved I dont think Ill ever buy another GP to try and make money on, to much of a headache

    I always check things in the area of what I'm doing, the motor mount would have been one of them. I hear ya on the grease, the type of grease in the axles is really hard to get off your hands without using a good heavy duty hand cleaner, or dish soap. Plus it's everywhere on the car. GP's can need a ton of parts if you're planning on flipping it, luckily they're all super cheap online so you may still make money if the miles are somewhat low. Once they're up in the 150k+ the value really drops on the 03 and lower.
