Thanks for all the advice so far.

FCP Groton has new aftermarket axles for $119 a piece: http://www.fcpgroton.com/volvo850driveline.htm No core charge.
Here is what FCP writes: "The Axles that we are now selling come complete with inner and outer joints and boots. They are pre assembled and are ready to install as is. These are brand new units so you will not have to send the cores back to us like most places. The DSS axles have been made to excede Volvo specs and have a limited lifetime warrany on the parts (does not include labor)."

Seems quite cheap, almost too much so? I usually trust FCP, just wondering if anyone has experience with these axles made by DSS?

Best,
