Im looking on the acura part websites for the pricing on both new and reman oem axles and I am wondering is there anything different from a 00-01 Integra LS axle and a 96-99 axle?

This is for the 2000:

Part number 44305-S04-J60 ; 44305-S04-J10, but no reman option. It also costs about 200 dollars more than an axle listed for the 96-99 cars listed here which is insane.

This is the 96-99 axle 44010-S04-J51 ; 44010-S04-J50

Yet the 00-01 cars have no reman axle listed, but for the 96-99 cars they do at a more reasonable 150

I don't think there is anything different is there? Im just weary of buying autoparts store axles after seeing the "new" axle on my other integra already have cracked boots from 2011. I feel more comfortable just buying an oem reman since chances are they are using OEM parts. My original axles are crack free, and only reason I am getting a new one is due to a mishap during the suspension install that the boot is leaking grease.

I am thinking of just getting a passenger side raxle instead.

I know the cars are the same, but it just seems odd, but working on both cars I've seen a ton of minor differences between the two...

 

My guess is something to do with the ABS WS-S but I'm not 100% interested to know also.

Btw part store axels have a life time warranty, I know the boost isn't covered tho but I raced a season(4 time attack events) with 99$ axels and nothing ripped etc they still look great. Now using DSS stage 0's tho they're like 300$ for both http://www.driveshaftshop.com/import...c-axle-level-0

 

That is what I think, but the ABS unit on 98-01 should be the same. I wonder if I use an older year axle if it would impact the use of my abs, as I want to keep it and I've already gone through the trouble of getting an ITR prop valve and ABS ECU.

I am thinking of going with raxles if the price ends up costing the same as the reman, plus they are located in Florida so getting it shouldn't be an issue. Probably overkill in my build, but I rather have something hold up than break.

That or I just get a new boot and grease and rebuild my current axle. Im not getting any clicking yet and not losing that much grease, but enough to annoy me.
