Well, my axles are about to bite the dust. Good replacements aren't cheap. Looking to buy second hand low mileage if possible. Let me know what you've got!

 

IMO, try to find a remanufactured. You'll save alot over new.

 

Look at RockAuto. Good price and quality, and very inexpensive return shipping on your cores.

 

My car makes enough power to grenade a rockauto axle. Looking for OEM/GKN axles. They don't fail every 2k miles. Thanks.

 

I didn't go with the cheap ones; I got the CardOne and they were clearly remanufactured OEM shafts right down to the stampings. And I've been using them pretty vigorously for a year with no problems. I agree with you about RockAuto "economy" parts.

 

Still don't trust em. Especially since my Mini is lowered + extra HP. I know my OEM axles handled the abuse well for a couple years now. And I know cardone uses cheap bearings. I'd rather not risk a cheap axle breaking and lunging a hole in to my trans casing. Appreciate the input though.
