My AE 101 needs a velocity joint. ah mechanic on my side said it'd be better to buy ah whole axle, which already has d velocity joints n rubbers, n grease etc....
He also says its cheaper dat way dan buying ah new joint only.
what allya think?

If you have to go foreign used ensure you carry someone with some experience in this area to make sure you get a good axle but if you can afford it buy a new V-joint it will save you money in the long run.
