Why replace the entire axle?

For most cars it's cheap enough and a lot easier Matt. Typically a half
shaft costs around $75 plus core. It's a lot easier to just remove the old
one and replace it, since you have to remove the half shaft in order to
rebuild the joints anyway. I don't know the cost of the parts anymore, but
boots are each around $20, so it's easy to imagine that the total cost of
parts will approach the cost of the entire axle by the time you add in the
cages and bearings.

I agree with Mike that replacing the entire halfshaft makes the most
sense. I can tell you from experience that it's much easier, faster and
more reliable than rebuilding the joints.

The arrangement I had when I bought this car was that the everything
required to pass safety would be done by the seller. Is this something
that should have been fixed by them?

Re: Accent Makes
 

If it wasn't present at the time you bought the car, then I'd say the
seller is not responsible for it. I presume your agreement meant anything
that was currently wrong with the car, not items that could fail in the
future.
