If this is the wrong section for this post, please redirect this post and accept my apologies. Yesterday, I removed the front axles from my '81 wagon (car has less than 80,000 miles). The axles seemed in perfect shape (I took them out due to the typical noise associated with bad joints--but, maybe I was wrong?) My question is should I send these to MWE Axles in Colorado (widely recommended by many on this site but more expensive than local and shipping for my cores is ridiculous) or should I try a decent remanufactured brand? I am prisoner to the local AutoZones and O'Reilly Auto Parts stores...I really do not have much of a selection. Your input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
