Why the hell would you want "custom" axles?

If your snapping stock ones on a regular basis I guess this is the way to go. I bought new stock ones for $70 each.

Well they don't know the difference between braking and breaking. That's for sure.

Discount import auto in Milwaukie, OR. I was shocked at the low price as well. They aren't oem, some brand that is made in Korea.

Good so far. I only put a couple thousand miles per year on the car though. If they wear out quickly I will go oem on the next set.

[DooDanE30]

did you install yourself?
were there any fitment issues?

[Keith M]

None whatsoever.

No, they were new. Looked the same compared to the oem one I pulled out although given the cost, I would imagine the quality isn't the same.

I can rebuild your axles locally here in Huntington Beach, CA.

If your further away you can ship your old ones in and I will get them shipped back out to you.

$150 each, $300 for the pair.

This includes replacing any worn balls or cages as needed. OEM Lobro boots are included.

Or shit just call blunt tech, he has remanufactured axles for $113 each.

I can beat blunts price on Genuine GKN/Lobro axles for $335 to his $367. But leave it to Autohauz to have them for $306.

It has become apparent to me that no one likes to make a profit anymore, thus the economy continues to stagnate, just like the parts business.

Genuine BMW axles $475 each, with your old core, otherwise add $50 core charge each

Oh well, if your local and need your axles rebuilt give me a shout.
