Well the new, not reman, auto zone axles showed up today at the store and I stopped by after work to pick them up. Nice packaging, but emblazened on the Duralast box in big letters is "REMANUFACTURED". I open one box and it looks brand new I close it up and off I go confident that the other is the same and they were just misboxed. Whats the old saying when you assume, you usually end up as an A**. Well it rings true. Got back to the house and opened the other box and it was clearly a reman, it was stamped "REMAN" on the in board can which and was different in style from the "new" looking axle in the other box which after closer inspection was stamped reman but in much smaller letters. Put them back in their boxes and went back to AZ along with one of my old axles to compare to.

Manager places a new order for a set of CarDone reman axles that look exactly like my old axles. Their CarDone axles are pictured at http://www.autozone.com/autozone/catalog/parts/partsProduct.jsp?itemIdentifier=447012_0_0_3399&skuDescription=Cardone+Reman+/+CV+Halfshaft&brandName=Cardone+Reman&displayName=CV+Halfshaft&categoryNValue=11299999&sortType=&store=472&isSearchByPartNumber=false&fromWhere=&fromString=search&counter=3&itemId=512-0&navValue=11200512&filterByKeyWord=cv+axle&productId=447012&searchText=cv+axle&categoryDisplayName=Drivetrain&parentId=12-0 Posted the link not as an advertisement, just showing it for the reference. Supposed to be reman'd in the USA. I'll see what the packaging and materials show when they arrive.

Should have a matching set of remans on Friday afternoon. Keeping my fingers crossed. If these don't work out then I am going to order a set through Pierre who hosts the Central FL GTG's.

I just sent a question through www.cardone.com asking if the axles were reman'd in the USA. I'm looking forward to their response.
