All I have to say is new CV joints in and out. They are beefier than stock and I highly recommend them if you can't wait for Raxles to ship.

Not sure who actually builds them for Napa. I did a little research and didn't find anything.

I didn't notice anything on the box besides NAPA. Could have been but didn't pay attention to it.

ok, please note if these were new axles or not. I got remanufactured ones from napa n they were crap. I got one, n starting to clunk right away, took it off went back there to get another one. Vibration out the wazoo....all i can tell you is that the reman for me was a bad idea. Just got a new one from raxles. But now i think that its starting to go again...maybe i'm really too low or something, i don't know what to do nemore..

It depends, some reman axles will feel terrible, and produce a vibration when under load, some will not.

I had purchased a Reman and it gave my car a bad vibration underload. Put my Raxles in and problem solved.

Maybe a brand new axle from an auto store wouldnt do that but thats still to be determined.

I just got my front right from raxles - they have wonderful cust. service and they shipped it out that day, I had it 2 days later. It looks very well made. I will try to remember to take pics of the OEM next to the raxles one and post em.
Any advice for the job of replacing this thing? Any help appreciated! Just PM me cuz I don't want to hijack this thread
