1000x yes. Dealing with ****ty EMPI axles on VWs has shown me just how much better the originals were. The cheepie rebuilds are simply garbage. I suppose you could get away with a cheepie axle on a benz for longer because the CV has less work to do on a rear drive car, but from my experience it will still be a POS and fail way early.
