Default Where do you get new axles from?

Since I have rebuilt mine once and they are ever so slightly clicking and leaking again, I think it's time to get a new pair.
Without robbing a bank or taking a loan from one where would you suggest to get them from?
I also would like to get a idea on what the two axles will cost me. (parts only)

Thanks.

Rob,

I would suggest new axles from NAPA. I think they run somewhere around $140-150 each.

Not when you have to replace them every 1-2 months. Ask me how I know.

The brand new axles from NAPA also have lifetime warranty.

get axles from NAPA in the green box!

These are the only ones to get. We use these all day long at Honda and never have any prolems. I run them in my hyrbid 4 door and have no complaints. My cost is 62 bucks a piece w/o core...so 130 after tax with no core and lifetime warranty for good axles! I'll take them.

Tell them to give you jobber cost

Ditto. If you can't do OEM, I'd do Raxles.

Autozone axles do suck, IMO.

I spoke with Raxles on the phone and he some how knew that I lived in NYC and that was the reason for my axles to go so quick.

NYC potholes & ruff surface

Your R has only recently begun to see high-G loads, though. Just wait. It'll happen.

What's the price on the pair? Are they a sponsor or offer HT discount?
