Far as I know...
no one is selling rebuilt rears. Gotta go new. If that's changed, please let us all know....

...or just used from a boneyard.
New is probably scary expensive.

new is about 275. I have found rebuilt fronts cheap for about 80 but I guess its going to be the stealership or salvage yard. Thanks

I'd replace both and try to sell the cores back to the place where you found them, by the way, where did you find them?
