Okay /o/ so i need to change my front CV joints on my 1998 Subaru Forester and the options are
1) Reconditioned Subaru OEM CV joints
2) Brand new CV joints from an auto parts store (their own inhouse brand)
What do? To buy brand new 1998 Forester CVs from my local dealer would cost $2600 AUSD for the pair, people on ebay are selling them for $240 but cant verify if they are genuine or not.
Got the car booked in to get it changed so any input would be most appreciated, thanks /o/

Dayum son thats cheap, but wont be able to get that on time for my service this Tuesday, dont really want to put in reconditioned Subaru CV shafts and i dont really want to put in CVs that are new that are made in China. Are reconts that bad?

Always use oem parts

Don't buy just the cv joint. Buy the entire halfshaft assembly for $50.
Brand really doesn't seem to matter too much, I've heard to avoid cardone, but I personally bought one and installed in a family vehicle and it's still fine.
These cars are shit at CVs since they are so close to the exhaust.

Raxles is good
but seriously the shaft is really close to the exhaust, it's going to cook through the boot regardless of what you do
Oem everything is always the answer.
