Click the link on the CCR website and you should get an email address for MWE. There are phone numbers there too.

I was in a chain store the other day & a guy was buying an axle for a Lego. I told my buddy, "he'll be back"

thanks guys

I got a new axle through a local dealer, but not sold as *Subaru* new. EMPI(china) It's a brand they offer and use as a lower cost alternative for non-warranty repair. For a 2000 Outback Wagon, automatic. Sounded good, right?EMPI axle caused the infamous *stopped in D or R* idle vibration.

 

Vibration was immediately noticable and very loud shaking of car when stopped(waiting for a light) in drive or park. It was predictable and constant, meaning always. I was able to observe the inboard joint *twist* under load by looking under the car while an assistant placed car in gear. Shakin was audible, however I could not *see* or feel the actual vibration directly in the axle. A second replacement EMPI axle was installed and yielded the same result. No other work of any kind was performed on the car....... the hood was literally not even opened.

 

 

Rebooted original Subaru axle and reinstalled and the vibration was gone.

 

I will only recommend the rebooting of original axles, or the purchase of *NEW SUBARU OEM* axles for customers. I won't install other brands anymore, espescially not chinese ones.

 

Perhaps I might test a set of MWE on my own car and see how they do.

I would just call (at a reasonable hour please) 303-522-8070.
