Just posting this so others can locate some parts if ever needed. Carrier bearings and cv joints are tough to locate if you ever have driveshaft problems. After stopping at a local shop, calling 2-3 driveline specialists, etc and getting essentially no where I found a great resource.
Driveshaftparts.com had what I thought didn’t exist. Individual parts to service the driveshaft. And the kit I needed (was told I only need a boot) was about $95, plus $11 shipping.
compared to used shafts for 700-1000+, this will do the trick.
the damage to the driveshaft I have is from an accident and it was salvage, so not gonna be common but I know I’ve looked for links and found companies Ive used before.
the front was cvj082, and rear would be. Cvj081

and below is a screenshot of the actual kit that will have the boot which will be used and a new cv that may or may not be used. The driveshaft shop said they could just put it together and it should be fine as long as I have the boot. Not sure if the spline count on the redeye driveshaft vs the regular ones, but if it’s the same I’ll use the new cv joint as well.
