palfer Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 Anyone have a recommendation on where to buy axles? It seems like I'm replacing them every 6-12 months even under proper alignment and balanced wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lmdew Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Shawn at http://retroroo.com/ CCR use to the link to MWE, but I don't see it on their new site: http://ccrengines.com/ Google them and found this: I recently contacted MWE Axles and they asked me to post their new contact info.

Fairtax4me Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 FWE is the best you'll get short ordering brand new axles from a dealer for $400 each. They work out to be about $120 per side after you return the core. For less expensive options, Napa axles have always served me well, but those will be lower quality rebuilds than what FWE provides. They also have new axles at Napa that are similarly priced, but they are made in China. Another option is to buy some original green cup Subaru axles from a junkyard and install new boots yourself. This requires a fair amount of getting dirty, and may cost $60-80 per side depending on the price of the axle and of the boot kits you buy. Subaru OE axles last pretty much forever as long as you keep grease in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palfer Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 thanks. Any hints on taking the joint apart? I've never done it. Always replaced the entire half shaft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
