Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $75, while 2019 tops the table at $117. Parts from 2013–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 8 compatible years.

Buying a used axle shaft: what to check

  1. Inspect CV boots for cracks. A torn boot means the joint has likely ingested grit.
  2. Confirm ABS ring compatibility with your sensor setup.
  3. Left and right shafts usually differ in length, so verify the side.
  4. Spin the joints through full articulation and listen for clicking.
