Thanks Manfred, I will not be buying cheap ones from Advanced. I am going to get a set from a custom shop that does off-road and racing axles as well as MB.
I really don't want to do my axles every year and a half. I drive about 20,000 miles a year and that is not going to go down with this car. I will pay for great parts. I don't have a problem with paying for good stuff. I do have a problem with buying crap that is supposed to be good and is not.
