Here we go again 6 months later after installing remanufactured axles from Pep boys, my drivers side axle is cracking when coming to a stop. Anyone else have horrible experience with these. I seriously change my axles every 6 months, this is ridiculous. Is my car too low or something? Are these axles just total ****? Does anyone else offer anything a little more quality without breaking the bank?

 

man u get what u pay for and thats why they have lifetime warranty and u can change them anytime u want. i have some from autozone and i change them about every 6 months before they go bad

there a lifetime warranty. save your receipt. and yes, im willing to bet your car is too low.

 

These axles are just of poor quality. The only good thing about them is that they have a lifetime warranty. I was going to go the remanufactured route, but instead I chose new GCK axles, which also have a lifetime warranty.

 

no need for the receipt only use the tel number
this deal is good at pepboys/autozone for the following

ignition cables
brake pads
axles
starters
altenators

 

So how much higher do I need to raise my car? Will 1" make a large difference? I know gator racing axles are nice but $$$ anyone know of a quality axle thats cheaper?

 

i think someone just needs to make better boots out of silicone like turbo couplers are made of.

 

That still wouldn't solve the problem. My axles were just replaced 4 months ago and the boots are still perfect, but the CV joints are clicking. A torn boot just ruins the CV joint much faster because the grease comes out. The short life is most likely caused by the fact that I have about 1/4" wheel gap on stock 14" rims.

 

My sister just snapped a 4 month old reman axle on her stock ford tempo. they are just poor quality.

 

I think it was patrickgsr that bought rebuilt axles before and they were crappy, i think one was actually longer than the other, see if he see this thread so he can explain.
