2007 Outback LL Bean Edition. I need to replace the propeller shaft -- front u-joint is going out. My dilemma is whether to purchase new from dealer (just shy of $700.00, including tax and discount) or a rebuilt unit from Cardone (via Rock-Auto) for half the price.
I've previously had good luck with Cardone rebuilds, but a few months ago replaced my front CV axles with new OEM from my dealer, primarily based on what I've read in this forum.
