Default Which axles to buy?

Hi guys...

I am about to replace both axles on my 1996 DX coupe and I was wondering, which axles to buy...

I can't find OEM axles here where I live so I will have to buy some aftermarket axles...

What would you buy if you were me? And how much should I expect to spend on this?

if its stock i'd go to your local autoparts and get whatever they have. I don't know how much **** is where you live, but here they're about 80-120. Thats before you take the core back.

Buy them from your local autoparts store. Usually they give you lifetime warranty, so from there on, everytime they go bad, you just pull them out and get them replaced for free.

when it comes to axles, it's really a hit and miss. i've heard stories from members on this board about getting autozone axles and they are either the incorrect ones or cause vibrations. i have experienced both, but i have also experienced axles from az with no problems at all. a lifetime warranty is great and all but to keep changing out axles cause it's vibrating is a PITA, when it comes down to it, it's your call. i've also ordered used OEM axles with no problems whatsoever. try http://www.d-a-p.com
