I am trying to see who has experience with different brands of drive axles. I am going to be replacing my drivers side in the next few days. Any thoughts. I know raxles is probably the most preferred, but is it that much better???

Advance Auto Brand: $70
Auto Zone: $110
Raxles: $120

 

Depends on if you like swapping axles, I installed 2 from my local parts store too get a decent one and it did not make it a year. The right side is a Raxles unit, 2 years with no problems.

 

autozone are crap... advance are crap as well.. but they do have a lifetime replacement and they are easy to change so thats why i buy them.....

also because im a cheap *** and i dont wanna buy anything better... but thats just me...

 

I got the axles from RockAuto. http://info.rockauto.com/GSP/Detail.html
So far so good.

 

Thanks for the input...looks like I may not need to change after all. I got everything apart tonight and had another bad bearing. That is the second bad one in 10k miles...ugh... But the actual steering knuckle is out of round.

 

so GSP are raxles??!?!?!

 

raxles are over priced, go with a life time warantee axle from a local auto parts store. I use $60 reman axles and have never had problems, Ive only had two axles go bad on me the entire time Ive had the car.
