do you know what vendor was used? and what brand he got?
all the McParts places around here have them for around 80, but they are very poorly made, and the spacers on the hub do not fit.

I just talked to my friend, and he is out of town. He will send me the link (where he bought the axles from) on Sunday. The previous axle he bought was starting to leak out of the boot, and he knows it was in fact made in China. The annular set he got looks to be very good quality, but only time will tell. Either way, being annular, they will be much easier to deal with should the need arise (hopefully not very soon). One thing I did notice, the axle shaft itself looked used (clean, but old flaking paint on it). The rest of the parts (especially the annular joints) looked to be new, so it is possible that only the axle was used. They were sold outright with no core charge, and sent UPS.
