You can't go wrong with OEM but some others are OK. Elring doesn't exactly have a stellar reputation and they have been hit or miss for me so that is one that I would avoid.

What kind of axles did you use? Some of the Chinese axles have been off enough in diameter at the seal surface that they leak even with a new seal.

I'm afraid I was unaware of that when I ordered them from local parts store... Auto zone...

But I was in a bind and had also bought new struts and spring assembly.

So I had to buy what I could afford in order to get my front end in better shape.

I need to check again see if it's leaking still.

I like this car and I hate it at the same time lol..
