These aren't hard to find parts. Just check prices with all your local parts stores.

If you still need them axles I have some with less than 500 miles on them. You do better to relace the twoof them at once I believe. We can work out something cheaper than junkyard prices I'm sure.

dude I got mine for like 50-60 bucks with "lifetime" warranty at local parts store... beats having to wait for parts in the mail. Check how much brian has em for and you might be able to get em cheap off him.

A crow bar or large screwdriver stuck between the end of the axle and the transmission housing can be used to "pop" the axle right out of there..

1. look for an ABS assembly under the hood on the right front side of the car
2. look at the axle for a toothed ring
3. look for an electric sensor on the hub
4. check for an ABS light on the dash
any of the above are good indications of whether or not you have ABS

Where did you get your axle from? It's for a manual Trans with LSD and w/o abs? Because the price for an auto axle is like $55 and for a manual is like $115 from autozone and $72 from advanced. There is also a $30 core charge from autozone and a $70 core charge from Advanced. At least internetautosupply has them for $55 with LSD, but shipping is $25... So basically it's $72+tax from Advanced, with LT Warranty, or $80 shipped from internetautosupply w/o warranty. Also, if they both had to be shipped it'd probably arrive faster from internetautosupply, since they ship out in 1 day and advanced quoted me 7-10 days.

I'm working on the shipping part, the axles are shipped from cali so that's the reason it costs so much to get to you. I'm working on getting some from the east coast so I can get the shipping costs lowered.
and who said mine have no warranty?

Seriously, if they do have a Warranty then I'd purchase from the website without a problem. It just wasn't advertised on the site, so I assumed it didn't have one. Are they reman or new? Also, why would the axle be different if there was ABS or not??

Look at the end of the axle that goes to the wheel. An ABS axle will have a square toothed disc just inside of the brake assy.

They are 100% brand new and ALL my parts come with manufacturers warranties. I don't buy closeouts that I can't warranty. if I sell it, it has a warranty (whole vehicles excluded )
