Only real gotcha I ever ran into is the nature of how axles are rebuilt. Our outer part shares the same diameter and pitch on the flutes as say a ford escort. Only thing different is that the ford part is longer. So ive seen many rebuilds with ford outter axles and makes it hard to get the axle into the hub without full disassemble of the suspension. Its because when they get the busted axles back, they just bin sort them based on diameter and if it fits into a certain hole. then they get rebuilt by batch.<br>
<br>So YMMV, but ive had decent luck out of O'Riley's axles on most of my daily drivers. If it was a car that was more than a daily or stock hp....i might consider raxles, but the hefty price of them is all that stops most from using them more. <br clear="all">

Be carefull not all autoparts stores give you good stuff. Most offer lifetime gaurantee because you will need it. I forget where you are Jim, but you could call Marty at raxles and see when he could have them to you by. Usually 3 days.<br>

My fault for not being more clear... I don't want to go mail order, I<br>
just want to pick one up at a local parts store this week (spring<br>
break) while I have time to work on the van. Unless there is some<br>
good reason to avoid any of these brands.<br>
