Installed New Rear Axles - Made in CHINA :-/

My old axles were toast.  When removing them, I literally pulled some bolts out with my fingers!  I ended up ordering all new axle Italian-made (OEM-quality) CV bolts and serrated washers, and then ordered NEW (not rebuilt) Chinese axles from GoWesty.  They were cheaper than the German OEM rebuilds and according to GoWesty (who sells both), they are fine quality.  I kept my originals around in case I need to take them in to CVJ Axles (Denver, CO) to have them rebuilt at some point. :)

Chinese Made Axles from GoWesty arrived


Messy in there.  Gotta clean out that grime before re-installing
