6spd cv axles

Where can I purchase the correct cb axles from for a manual transmission that won't break the bank?

Raxles doesn't offer a passenger side axle for the the 6-speeds anymore. Call Marty if you need one of the driver side ones.

hit up napa homie...you can go to advance or autozone...but those are some of the cheaper ones...even though they give you a 'lifetime warranty' you'll be replacing them kinda frequently (thats if you lower it more)

i got my last set from Napa..DSS axles, i've been good for at least two months riding as low as i have, no busted boot yet *knock on wood*

Thanks I was thinking about napa. I thought autozone and advance couldn't get the 6spd axles?

are 6 speed axles really that hard to get a hold of? they cant order them either? i always figured axles...at the worst, they could just order them and have em overnighted or 2 days or something. i'm' 5 speed..so i dont have much of a problem

Federated Auto Parts FTW!!!

Same axle offered by NAPA, but was cheaper and immediately available. Local NAPA could not find one anywhere.

DSS Passenger Axle - Part information: OP (DSS) # 8006N

Stay away from AutoZone/Advance Auto. Majority of these (remanufactured) passenger axles are for an automatic tranny but are sold as manual. I have no idea why either. Even thought the auto axle will install just fine, it is 1" shorter than manual and will cause horrible vibrations and shaking in front end as well as damage to axle seal causing tranny to leak.

This is coming from personal experience.

meh...when lowered extremely, you'll get vibrations..not too many occasions you'll get an axle and itll vibrate at stock height, minimal lower, although, yes i have heard of such occasions. but x2 on advance and autozone

Not very right now, but I'd say about 2" lower than stock.

I need 17" rims and the correct size tires to go lower. I'll get there eventually

The axle looked and felt good quality, at least.
