My two cents on rebuilts vs. new. I had vibration problems and decided to purchase rebuilt shafts......six months later I began to hear the famous clicking and never did completely remove the original vibration. Ended up trading the rebuilts in for new ones.

Probably just a bad experience but over the years I've learned the hard way that savings can be defined differently. I don't think I've ever spent more for a higher quality item and regretted it later....on the other hand, I have often tried to save by buying down and then wished otherwise later.

I'm going to keep my car for a long time and am busy making sure that each upgrade lasts as long as possible.
