Best Place to buy axles?

Hey, im looking at buying 2 front axles (mine are shot), and was wondering where the best place is to buy them? I don't need the Raxles, and heard negative stories about Ebay. So, will autozone do?

If you want the BEST place to buy them like you posted, then go with Marty at Raxles.com If you go with some place like autozone, I wouldn't give it a 50/50 chance they give you the wrong axle the first time. Sure they will take it back, but its going to be a pain in the you know what.

definatly raxles,we put some in ladeesman's car and I don't think he has had a single problem with them. I just realized yesterday that I need to get new ones as well. Anybody know if they send new seals for the tranny, my passenger side one is leaking.

Raxles come with a guarantee as well. When my buddy had a problem with one of his, Marty sent him a new axle without even recieving the core first. He sent mine out without charging me for the cores, great company to deal with.

I got mine from autozone and they have been great so far, we will have to see if they can handle the extra punishment from the drop

The bottom line on axles,
If you can't afford it stick with the big parts chains like autozone.
If you can afford it RAXLES is the only way to go.

Just don't be penny wise and pound foolish!

When you replace cheap axles under warranty, Labor and lost time is money.

your autozone axles might work for you right now, but when you are dropped and it puts more stress on things they wil break in no time. i work at autozone and aside form probely getting the wrong part in the first place, i get more broken axles back to me than i ever imagined.

i have raxles on my car and they are doing awsome
