2000 v6 axle broke

[res1vw21]

Hi Last night my girl friend was driving home when her right rear axle broke. My question is is this common and how would you guys recommended fixing it? I might have a line on a 8.8 rear end out of a '99 gt, would this be a direct drop in? I still need to hear back from the insurance company so I don't yet know exactly whats going to happen. I am guessing since I am new I can't yet post pics so here is a link to my thread on FABO http://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/...097#post623097 thank you guys! -Ross-

I had to replace my rr axle and it was less than $200 for the gear lube and axle from the dealership.

thats very strange very strange indeed anyway yes a 8.8 is a direct swap if its from a 99+ and a good mod at that ive never heard of that happening ever on one of our cars but who knows

well the adjuster will be out here tomorrow, I have the feeling they won't want to do anything about it though so that means I will be doing an 8.8 lsd swap!

Anyone have one they want to sell around Seattle?

Could always buy an 03/04 Cobra IRS and have a very nice ride afterwords

That too is a direct swap with the exception of needing to change the pinion flange.

If she wants to sell if tell me
