Hey those axles are also used on the W-Body. Impala,MC,Regal,Grand Prix. Heck you might be able to find some low mileage used parts at the full service yards for a fraction of the cost of new. Are you sure it's the axles and not the hubs and bearings? I sell lots of hubs. The only time I sell an axle is when they get bent in an accident. :smile:
Hey Eric,
Yea, it's the axles.
They're the only thing on the front end that I haven't replaced.
Struts, bearings, GM LCA assemblies, spring rubbers, etc, all new.
Don't know why I didn't go ahead and do them when I did the rest.
They're creaking, clunking, crunching, call it what you want.
For 215k, I can't complain.
They didn't make a sound until a few thousand miles after I replaced everything else.
I just picked up some rebuids at my local CarQuest.
I hope they hold up.
This old van has really been a good machine.
It still get's 27mpg at 70mph, 30 to 32 at 55.
Have a good weekend!
