i think in gonna have to order new axles.. anybody try the ones floatin around on ebay?? any other suggestions??

 

stay away from them ..... what can you expect from axle that came by truckload from China at $19 piece.

Nick.

 

go to either PepBoys or AutoZone for axels... just a word of advice!

have you changed yours? what did u go with?

 

passenger side from Raxles.com and driver side from Napa




Nick.

 

dude you live in staten island. there are a million places to buy axles from that will warranty them for life. And if you have a problem you have a local place where you can go for an exchange.

Arch Auto Parts in brooklyn sells them for $67. Clearway sells them for about the same price. Both have lifetime warranties.

 

i wish i woulda know about raxles earlier.. i woulda ordered from them, but i wanna have this car in the shop by wednesday.. guess ill try pep boys or autozone

 

Napa are great, highly reccomended

 

is there any difference between napa ones and pep-boys/auto zone? or are they both rebuilds?

 

all the aftermarket axles are basically the same. If you're lucky you'll get one that is a factory axle rebuild. If not, you'll get one with aftermarket CV joints.

Thats why you have to give them the core. They dont just throw them away, they send them to shops where the axles are rebuilt and/or refurbished.

If you have some time on your hands and you want a factory axle, there's a guy in Savannah Georgia that will rebuild your factory axle to factory spec, put on a neoprene boot, and send it back to you.

I think he charges $75-100 with heavy duty factory sized bearings and joints. A lot of BMW guys send their axles there.

You have got to be Mother F***king joking me. Had I known there was such a person in Savannah, I would have gotten my axle rebuild instead of waiting till I moved out of Savannah, back to ATL and try to buy a autozone axle.

great

 

Yeah deezy. I went there for my friend with his S4. The guy really loves axles. They're his shayt. He'll make you understand axles and only then will he take your money.

Kinda like the rain man of axle rebuilds.

 

You have no idea how much that sucks. I worried everyday about my axles, the click like crazy when warming up, and pretty much at every wide or u-turn. I could have gotten them rebuilt with quality rather than waiting and going with an Auto zone one.

F***k. . . oh well, not much I can do about it now. I'm done and moved from Savannah.

 

i'm using ebay axles no probs so far for 4 months and i push them hard but i'm going turbo so i need to scrap them and get the raxles ones,, NICK how much did you get yours for and do you need to get to get both sides if you have lsd or no need to beef up both sides

 

nick how much did you get raxles for and do i need to get both sides to beaf up the axles on lsd or one side will do
