Anyone have a front driver side axle and hub assembly available? We need both because the axle is seized inside the hub.

Thanks for the help tonight matt.
We have the axle apart, and end of the axle that fits into the hub is disconnected and the splines on the shaft part of the axle are damaged. So I picked up an axle from Jim (thanks Jim!) tonight and we are going to try and combine the to axles to get it going again. I think we should be able to make this work and hopefully get my car back on the road tomorrow! Otherwise I'll end up trying to get the last part of the axle pressed out of the hub/knucle and see where we can go from there.

Text me tomorrow and I'll take a look.

I'll keep you posted, but I think I can get one from Mitsu for like $130, it needed.
