Its too bad we don't have Rusty anymore, he used to be able to steer us to good
parts based on the returns he was seeing. He had a cheap axle that was "new"
manufacture that he claimed were great. I put a set on my '83 240D and ran 'em
25,000 miles with no issues...

Which ever ones you get make sure they are the later kind that
have the bolt on CV joint on the differential end (canannular).
That way you won't ever have to open the differential again to
change the axle.
That "lifetime isn't all it's cracked up to be. If you ask them
for a clarification you will find that it will be one
replacement. At least that's what it was the last time I asked.
