i am going to replace the axles in my ls and was wondering if i get axles probably rebuilt ones from auatozone, will i need an misc parts....such as....new transmission seals and other things that will not come with the axles themselves.

thanks in advance

 

You shouldn't need anything else.

As with any part, you should make sure to match up the axles you get from AutoZone with the one on your car before putting it in. I have bad luck with AutoZone and PepBoys axles not being correct or defective.

 

Yeah I can also say look those Autozone reman. axles over really good before you try to install them they are junk I have had to return 3 and then bought on from another auto parts store that sells good stuff and this one was fine it was another brand too. Check the Autozone axle boots over really well I had one that had tiny cuts in it when I took it out of the box so I returned it right away, then got another, bad one, and another bad axle and said screw it and went with another brand and so far so good. Also you will need trany fluid when replacing axles, because you are suppose to drain the trany when changing axles.

 

I'd look in the phone book for an axle rebuild shop. Call them and see if they will rebuild your OEM axles. This way you will keep your OEM axle that has the rubber balancer on it. Autozone uses the cheap axle shafts that do not have the rubber balancers on them . There a shop 15 min from my house that does this type of work all day long.

This is only true if you're changing the passenger-side axle, since it plugs into the transmission. On the driver's side, the axle plugs into the intermediate shaft, so you don't have to drain the transmission if you're only changing this side.

Oh thanks, that is true I just replaced the Passenger side axle, but didn't the guy say he was replacing both sides? Well Thanks again for clearing that information up.
