Who said Auto Zone? Just shoot me.
I've not had any trouble replacing axles. That's the easy part. Pulling them apart and replacing grease and boots, not knowing if the old shaft will hold up, that's what I DON'T want to do. I'v heard mixed reviews of the AZ shafts, but it's gonna cost me almost double for a better unit, I got a local quote for $170 today. Looked at Fastlane too, $400. Ouch.
