    The inner rear driverside CV axle boot was torn on my speed6, and i didnt get to it fast enough, as i can hear a clicking coming from the back underside of the car when turning right with people in the car, figure that i need to replace the axle, however the only axles i can find are the 500/600$ DSS ones.

    CX-7 axles wouldnt happen to fit, would they? I havent researched much about spline count, track width etc. i just know they use basically the same diff. Just wondering if anyone has tried this? If not, is DSS my only option as far as sourcing a replacement rear axle?

    cheers

    The transfer case on the MS6 and CX7 are very similar but require simple modifications to adapt one to the other.
    The rear differential on the CX7 is open and on the MS6 is LSD.
    I wouldn't count on the rear axles between the CX7 and MS6 being the same. The splines might be, but I wouldn't thing the length is the same.
    I think there are aftermarket MS6 rear axles. Look it up.

    I now see I posted fronts and you were looking for rears. Think I overlooked that as only in title. I bought the DTA fronts but I too now need rears and can't find anything but OEM, used or DSS. Sucks DTA does not also make rears.
    OEM:
    left rear
    GD562560XB
    right rear
    GD562550XB
    Supercedes XA on both.
    OEM boot kits are crazy expensive too.
    Inner
    GD5622540
    Outer
    GD5622530
    (2x of each required to do both axles).

    Thinking I need to get used and find AM boots.
    But how...as idk that anyone sells AM boots so need to measure and find ones that fit.
