This pretty much sums up why I want to fix my OEM part. I'm willing to guess that the vast majority of CV joint/halfshaft cores turned in have been run dry where they were clunking / making noise before the owner noticed and replaced it. And a decent percentage of those likely drive with the clunking until the last possible mile.It's not the same thing to think in terms of yours becomes a reman, because if you catch a boot failure early on, yours doesn't have any wear yet, while the reman is likely to have more wear, components that just didn't fall below the threshold that the reman required.
The existing axle is smooth as glass, I'd like to keep it that way instead of swapping with an unknown part; my experience with reman CV axles tells me that. It's a spare car, so I have time on my side.
