I just crossed over 15K miles on the ebay axle... so far so good!

Doing quite well, I have almost 3K miles on it now. The reman unit is just hard to beat in the easiness department... it even comes with a new axle nut. Install from start to finish it took me about 35 minutes and I barely even got dirty. My only concern about a reman unit is that it may not be as strong as an OEM unit. Of course this is just 100% speculation. I don't really ever launch my car and I've never had wheel-hop (major axle killer) in any 'low traction' situation. Given the way the AWD system is setup in this car (equal length axles front and back) and the fact that my car will never see more than much over 350awhp it's not too much of a concern.

There are remans available. I put one on my car. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190387288525&viewitem=

I replaced my passenger side front axle with this part over the weekend and it fit perfectly. I found putting the axle in the trans/diff side first was MUCH easier than trying to put it in the hub first. Luckily everything came apart very easy on my car... I love that I bought a salt free southern car more every day

Cool thanks for posting this! I was just about to post a thread to see if anyone had found a definitive answer for buying remanufactured axles. So this fit your 5MT turbo car no problems?

This thread has to be the best weight reduction mod to the wallet I've seen in a long while
