I'd suggest calling everyone you can find on NEW axle prices...

since you are going to keep the car. The price variation is significant. New ones will be the later style. The only exception would be a Lobro/GKN rebuilds which seem to last very well.

I'll spare you all the technical junk on why rebuilds are done remanufacture in a way that limits their life.

The other option would be to find some good used axles-maybe out of a 240d. Lot of work.

May take the "lifetime warrentee" route which ussually is dissatisfying after 3-4 years and a couple free replacements.


Sincerely,


Michael
