I set out on a 1700 mile treck to my sister's house but had to turn back after an hour because my t-stat chose that moment to fail closed and make my car overheat. Good thing it did because I was so close to home, also because when I was taking off from the first stop sign after getting off the interstate, I heard this clacking sound from the rear of the car. When I got back home I looked under there and one off my boots had completely torn and slung all the grease out quite some time ago. I needed the part in a hurry, the price was right, so was the lifetime warranty, so I went with an axle from AZ.

I was really suprised how easy the job was. The hardest part was cleaning off the diff cover to get to the bolts. Seriously, 1 hour of the two it took me was spent on cleaning it was that easy. Its been about 5k and they're still doing great. If it fails again in two or three years, no big deal. I can get new ones for free and would not mind in the least to do that job again.
