Another axle going out.

I'm pretty sure i have a VE axle. Just because it's going bad and looks beefy compared to the other one.

Passenger side.
Anyway to tell if it's a ve axle?
Where's the best place to get a qaulity one.

Autozone sucks yet again.

I def say go with Brian. I got one in less than a week when I ordered my diver side axle and for way less than any other place I looked at. Also the peace of mind that comes from knowing it is the right one is nice. Oh yeah and they are NEW axles too not remans. what do you mean you think? was there a tranny swap done?

My problem with buying an axle online.

If something goes wrong, I have to ship it back. I'd rather pay more at a store that I can just drive to for much less.

Its Brian. He actually knows maximas and gives a D4mn about us. Order from him. Stores may be local but who knows what they put back into the box.

Ok, it is the right one. Just a bad one.

I've bought tons of parts from Brian in the past few years...had a part fail only once, and he sent a replacement immediately, no questions asked! You won't get his caliber of service at Napa or Idiotzone!

wow I never saw so many people try to push Brian on a guy that stated quite clearly why he wanted to buy local. I like Brian as well and have bought from him but I respect and understand exactly what therealgoon is saying here. Local is a lot easier to deal with on some things. Its not like he said he would never buy any other things from him.

In my experience Carquest has the correct axles most of the time and they are very good quality. They got both my axles for my auto VE and they were actually right (so many people complain about receiving incorrect axles).
