Model year matters too: 2021 units carry the lowest median at $100, while 2025 tops the table at $275. Parts from 2013–2023 are interchangeable, so if the 2021 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 11 compatible years.

Buying a used axle shaft: what to check
- Inspect CV boots for cracks. A torn boot means the joint has likely ingested grit.
- Confirm ABS ring compatibility with your sensor setup.
- Left and right shafts usually differ in length, so verify the side.
- Spin the joints through full articulation and listen for clicking.
