Axles: OEM or Raxles, but not Advanced or CarQuest

Post by matthew1 »

Night #1: Pickup Full Axle from Advanced Auto (GSP) for $100.00
Installed in under 60 minutes.
Once on the highway I noticed a bit of a vibration between 50-60 when approaching WOT.

Night #2: Pickup Full Axle from CarQuest (FEB) for $120.00
Installed in 90 minutes since the C clip in the GSP was in there pretty good.
When installing I also verified that the FEB unit is marked GSP
Read the rest: Which Brand Axles to Buy -- Volvo 850/S70/V70/XC70/C70 family

[This is merely a pointer to the above topic for those browsing the parts dealers section who are buying axles.]
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link
. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!
