    I personally will be very interested to see how this turns out. I would like to have a spare set of these on hand for any future issues that may come up. If you can I would really appreciate some pics once you get them in so I can see how they compare to the stock units.
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    The only problem with purchasing a set for spares is that you have to put up a $75.00 core deposit and they only give you 21 business days to send the old ones back. If you want to eat the deposit though, I rekin $150 for a complete axel assembly (including CVs & boots) isn't too bad.

    That reminds me though to salvage the Mecatech's for spares.

    Just talked to a shop for an estimate to install the new axels. They indicated $500 just in labor.

    I'm looking at the shop manual now to see what I'll be getting myself into if I try to do it in the driveway.

    I'm not looking forward to this. I'll let you know what happens.

    Uh Oh. I just got an email that the axels are out of stock. I'm to call them weekly until they have some more. The saga continues.
