You might ask Jabba (buyeuroparts.com) what he recommends, he's usually got an
idea what his suppliers are providing.

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.

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.
