Anybody know of any Vw shops or other shops that sell Empi axles in the Seattle area ? Or around Auburn, Kent, Tacoma ? I've searched google and all it came up with was Vw dealerships pretty much .

Its a bit north of you, but I've always used Bow Wow autoparts in Lynnwood.

Do they usually have em in stock ? I was thinking about going to Lynnwood pick an pull tomorrow ...

Those guys wanted 150 for 1 axle !

I bought a EMPI for my EA82 once, it only had some assembly oil in the CVJ! Talk about quality control sleeping on the job.

 

My other EMPI was good

I ordered my EMPI axles from RockAuto.com $60 each.

Touche'. I didnt even think about Rockauto.

I usually order all my parts for my Courier there .

 

Thanks for the tip ! Gonna order one now

They say they're for the wagon, sedan, FWD .

 

Should work right ? I have an 88 gl wagon D/R

if you have a non turbo 23 spline the part number is 80-5504

turbo 25 spline part number is 80-5505

hope that helps

Thank you !

There are a couple of shops just outside of lakewood that had them in stock for about $80 I believe it was. This was a couple of years ago... I just called around to about 5 different shops, and 2 of the 5 had them in stock, something like that.

 

I asked this question about 2 years ago it seems according to a quick search:

Last post is the place I called and had them in stock...

 

HTH!

Oh right on ! Good to know .

I actually just ordered one from Rockauto , they're 53.79 ? a piece .

 

Shipping is kinda a hit or miss. Sometimes it ships from one warehouse and you pay less, sometimes it ships from 2 warehouses and you pay more.

 

I paid 91 bucks for an axle, a repair manual and 2 exhaust gaskets .

Shipping was around 23 bucks, so not too bad . Now just gotta wait for em to arrive !

Yeah call around to shops in your area. I pay $63 each from my local supplier. After shipping it would be more than that from rockauto. But then I have an awesome supplier .
