Any High Quality Axels?

(1/1)

vwzzuk:
I'm replacing axels on the front of my VW pickup. It seems like I get a maximum of 1-3 years out of all axels I buy and then it's done.

Any particular brands that are better quality than the cheap Chinese stuff out there? I've been changing suppliers each time an axel goes bad and it seems to make no difference. First the cheap rubber splits. Anyone have a source for neoprene or silicone boots?

Any good quality axel suggestions?

libbydiesel:
Axel Foley was alright. 

My only recommendation on axles is to get lobro joints and install them on stock axles. 

air-cooled or diesel:
the (good) boots go for ~$18, thats an old price, x4. +the work & grease. (*only boots 2-buy, dont get the cheap ones).

vwzzuk:
Thank you.
