Diversified Shaft Solutions Axles?

Anyone have any experience with these? I am in need of axles and my local parts place carries these. They quoted me a price of $105 per. What do you think?
Thanks,

Shane

Sounds cheap. Generally speaking the opinion on the forum is to re-boot the originals instead of buying cheap ones...

...but I don't know about that brand / shop.

Are you positive they are just not low on lubricant? Of course if the boots are open or trashed then something has to be done. The reputation of the chinese axles is just so so. There are some interesting observations in the archives on axles.

My own thought is that if you buy the New made in Asia Axles; get them over the counter from a local source so if they need to be warranted you pay no shipping an get a faster exchange time to get you back on the road.
