The best I've found are the "GCK" brand - sold around here at autozone. They are brand new, and EA81 4WD spec. They are very beefy. Older soobs eat axles - it's a fact. The remanned ones are not wise IMHO.... if for no other reason than the 2WD and 4WD axles are different, and you have no control over what they give you. They are interchangeable, but the 4WD joints are larger, and the shaft diameter is 2mm bigger resulting in a much stronger axle. The GCK ones are built to 4WD spec, $100 even with no core charge, and you can pick them up locally, plus a lifetime warranty that covers anything you do to it. The advantages for a slightly larger cost are many.... at least to me. Especially if you off-road at all.

$59.95 powerline ea81 axles for me.. brand new 4wd axles at that..

:grin: get them from your local advance store now

I also vote for MWE, mine are holding up real well.

www.cvaxles.com $55 plus shipping and rebuildable core. Another outfit that actually rebuilds them by replacing the inner and outer joints.
