Default cv axle bearings?

on the drivers side axle i lost 3 round bearings that go onto the cv axle. its the part that goes into the tranny and without them bearings it makes a loud noise when going from park to drive. does anybody know where i can buy these at? The axle is good so i don't wanna buy a new one just for the bearings.

You can't buy just the bearings. And how do you manage to loose them? especially all 3?

I lost 2 out of 3. well my friend put my front end together when we did the engine swap and i think he either didn't put the right bolts on the suspension or he didn't tighten them. and the drivers side tire fell off. or the whole spindle fell off in the middle of the road 2am in the morning comming home from a meet. i spent $180 to get it towed 2 miles home. and i realized he didn't even put those little pins that go through the stud to help the nut stay in place. well when this happen the bearing went bye bye. i found one in the middle of the road lol.

I'm going through hell trying to find 2 dam bearings. i have no clue what their even called.

Would probably just be easier to get a new axle. There not that much from Auto Zone or wherever. Cause then it would have everything and be full of clean grease

Yea, I think i have no choice. their $60 each.

I get paid this comming up monday do you think the car will be ok without them?

the only thing i notice is that going from park to drive i hear the axle make a pop noise because theirs play inside the axle. i will only drive it maybe 5 miles.

As soon as i fix something another problem comes up! I was test driving it slow is hell cause i put some 15inch rims in the front and they scrape the fenders nasty is hell. and going from 1st to 2nd gear i felt the dam motor move. and if i give it half throtlle and let off fast the dam motor drops back down into place. i went home and checked it out i ripped the rear engine mount. the bolt is in it but the rubber is ripped. I'm guessing because that night after the meet we were racing over and over and did a few burn outs.
