Default Sourcing CV joints for front driveshaft

I contacted hardy spicer and these were the prices for both cv joints for the WG.
CV-871 $359.33+GST
CV-861 $159.51+GST

I know I can get the rear cv from the states (US eBay) for a total of 55$ AUD. Has anybody sourced a front cv joint for less?

You can also awap in XJ front complete axles and rid yourself of the CV joints.

Well that would require swapping out an axle at least installing a U joint yoke on the rear of the diff. The cv's on my Jeep (WG CRD) lasted 225K and are only the rear is worn (boot not torn). If I plan to lift my jeep 4" I would definitely consider getting swapping out for an XJ front if it would fit a CRD.
