You can try Napa, the complete bolt-in strut is called a quick strut but I hightly doubt anyone makes them for 3rd gens anymore unfortunately. Tokico and Koni struts for 3rd gen are extremely hard to come by now as well, you're most likely going to have to get KYB struts and swap over your old springs, Partsource rents out spring compressors. Are your springs busted thats why you want quick struts?

no springs are all good. I went with kyb struts and the install went to flawless. Soon as I went to test drive. I realized drivers cv axle transmission side was popped out.
any suggestions before I try and pop in. Im hoping to undo bottom of strut and somehow magically pop it in.
advice on jack points , axle alignment? I’m curious what the end of the cv axle looks like without have to remove the complete cv axle?

Thanks

There is a retainer on the end that you need to snap into place. If it's an aftermarket axle it can be difficult. Shove it in there like you mean it.
