Just wondering what might be the best avenue to take. Should I look at remanufactured axles or buy new ones. My Legacy has higher mileage if this makes a difference.

I bought a reman off a dealer on ebay for my '84 GL wagon for under $20 and so far its been fine.

I went with NAPA, and have really used the Lifetime Warranty. Had a string of bad remans... Got good at changing axles, though.

 

Once they also gave me an axle that had its threads cut-down and a 32mm nut used. PITA, ended up taking it back and exchanging.

www.cvaxles.com probably one of the better rebuilders.

Ditto on www.cvaxles.com. I would avoid remans by ARI. New is great but watch out for the price!!

Thanks guys! I will probably go with the remanufactured axle from a reputable dealer that comes with a decent warranty . Beezer

i had one shatter at about 20k miles once, but i think that's unusual

I know the guy that runs this business, nice guy and builds some outstanding axles.

I put reman axles in my 91 Legacy and they were as bad as the old ones. Found brand new ones on ebay for almost the same cost as reman and it sounds like new again.

NAPA has new ones now.They call them Max Drive. Only about $20 more than remans and don't need to turn the old ones back in as they are worn out....Trash.
