Move was FWD as well. That's why it was so confusing to keep getting the wrong axles. As soon as I ordered the AWD v8 ones I was good to go

The car had some vibration under acceleration so I decided to go ahead and replace it instead of doing a new boot. I ordered the first part from Napa and the axle I received had smaller spl...

It threw a check engine light with the P0128 code. The car drives fine, haven't noticed any change in mileage or performan...
