Right on... I just had to have mine done right away. How's your reman holding up? I'll have to keep that in mind.

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.

Thanks for the write up! Just had to do my wife's LGT. Boot looked too time consuming for me, so I just bought a whole new axle. F*cking expensive! No remans available as of yet, so no core return. Boot replacement is the best thing to do until then if you don't want to spend ~$400.

There are remans available. I put one on my car.

Another ebay victory. I bought 2 of these ;

Was $147 total for both including shipping. Brand new, no core charge. Perfect fit.

 

Enjoy!

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?
