Problems finding CV Joint for Manual Transmission car

I have an '02 SE with a manual trans

Locally my shop brought in axles from 4 different suppliers and NONE had the proper shaft for a manual

It seems that the shaft for a manual is 1"longer.

who knows a good source to get a passenger side manual axle? (note, I am in Canada so they would have to ship to be considered)

Raxles? I know they didn't used to have 5.5gen axles, but maybe they do now?

A little googleing and I didn't find any good results.



I've emailed and phoned raxles.com and have not gotten any response yet.

Notice how much beefier the axles were? I was amazed at the comparison between stock and these...

Anybody have an idea of someone who can ship GSP to Canada?

I Tried NAPA canada and the GSP number was junk to them

I tried Advanced Auto and they have them is stock, but will not ship to Canada.

Raxles have an updated design for the LEFT side, but will not manuf. for the Right as he can't 'fix' the problem that takes out the inner Joint on the Right.

The US dealer I usually go though does not have a listing on their website for the CV axle.

Does somebody have a contact for a good US Dealer? A while back it was Dave B. it think?

Automotive Rebuilt Exchange. They may not be local to you.

I got an axle from them once and ended having to return it because it was defective.
