Autozone, lifetime warranty on axles..

I've had no issues on any of my cars that I've used em..
and one of them was pulling well over 300whp on autozone cv's..

going to the dealer on this sort of part is a waste of money in my opinion..
sensors and specific parts, dealer all the way.. but that's about it..

You have scared up a thread well over a year dead, without adding anything that hasn't already mentioned. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you come across a thread that has been dead for some time, let it lie.

Thank you.
