While you can replace the CV joint, it would probably cost a lot more than either a new or reman'd complete assy, and the joint may be damaged beyond repair.

A reman'd CV axle will run $50-60 (exchange) and a new one can run $75-100. So it is far easier/cheaper to replace the entire axle.

Did you get the right side (left/right), unless the axles are equal length there would be a left and right.
