I just ordered the raxles a few days ago, with the raxes they come complete thats why they cost more. Do the other ones you want come complete? For their price.

is your car lowered? If so I suggest raxles their axles are reman but their quality is beyond anything atuzone sales. They use brand new joints all the time so is as if you are buying a brand new axles.

If your car is not lowered and you don't plan on lowering go with the autozone ones. They should last a while.

If you want the best quality raxles is the place

My max is lowered and I have had serious problems with the NAPA axles. Whatever you do dont buy them, have had 2 go bad on me in under 3,000 miles. They replace them for free but they don't pay me for the time I spend changing the thing.
