Not sure if anyone else already know but I just spoke to Marty at www.raxles.com and he announced that he now has heavier duty driver's side axles available for the 5.5 gen manuals. The are running for $219. They are still working on making an upgrade for the passenger side but that should be available soon. This is good news for those of us who have had CV joint woes like myself!

That's good stuff right thur.......

 

great news for the VQ35ers who need them even more than the VQ30ers. Marty makes top-notch products. Highly recommended.

btw, three of us from the org are on the Raxles website

 

glad to hear this...i talked to marty in feb and he was still working on the redesign.

 

Hope the passenger side one comes soon. I need to replace mine...

Good on Marty, I won't buy axles from anyplace else.

 

I'm a broke *** college student and I'm going to pay the difference to get raxles....

 

Marty is a quality man. Raxles on both sides of my vehicle and its lasted years. Even swapped them from one max to another and still quality.

Good news. Any info on how the heavy duty axles differs from the regular model?

 

marty is the man. i think i'v bought over 10 axels from him now. and great warranty and customer service as well.

 

when i called in feb, he said he stopped making them because most of them were going on lowered cars and kept going bad. he was working to prevent that. dont know exactly what the weak point was

 

I hear nothing but great things about him there. I know there are a few out there that are anticipating a passenger redesign as well.

 

I need to replace both of mine though. I avoid driving my car now because the highway clunking at my feet has gotten so bad.

 

bump.. i hope marty gets that passenger axle quick... i cant drive my car anymore either thats how bad that axle got.

 

+1 Q, I cant drive my car either, the axle is done. I found a few junkyards around here that have 1, hit me up if you need a temporary replacement.

 

I had to go the junkyard route myself...mine was bad it fell apart when I took it out.

 

I'm getting to that point guys. The vibrations are getting worse. How much did you guys spend on an axle?
