Glad you got them in but....

Likely I have some bad news. I bought those exact cheap axles from a chain store. I paid $65 each, thought I was getting a deal.

Within 1,000 miles they were spraying oil all over and the allen bolts were starting to back out. I was afraid one was going to break and take off an SLS line (like what happened to another member) I went out and bought new German made axles. I think I paid $299 for a new pair.

Not a job I wanted to do twice by any means, but the new pair has been in for several thousand miles and are working excellent. The cheap Chinese axles will go bad very very quickly.... unfortunately I had told my friend who has a VW Rabbit about the cheap axles before I found out how bad they are. He swapped his and same story...started leaking nearly immediately
