yeah.. i'm gonna head to bed now... before i say something else uhmm.. yea..

 

bump help please

 

well depends...if your wanting some serious power then yes oem...if your not wanting over 200 id say parts house...oem replacement

 

i want something around oem strength or better but i dont feel like paying 700 dollars for a right side axle id rather pay 700 for a pair you know

 

I built a lot of 4x4 serious off-road rides in my time and I know in that realm there are a number of companies that make very heavy-duty axles, drive shafts, etc...that would dwarf oem parts.... but dont know if there are companies out there that do that same thing for the street/track for our tC's.

 

your only other option is this.

what happened when your axle went "out" ?

cuz ive got a cut boot too but ive been putting off fixing it because i just want to buy those ^ while im at it.

 

fix it asap!!!!!! i let mine chill for a month then i started to have play with the axle heavy vibrating and it sounds like your car is going to break! i hate it. ummm that was the right. the left was cut later and few weeks later some how the axle actually came out. I looked at the axle and the snap ring was tight like tight as a virgin lol. the snap ring needs play because it needs to lock it in the tranny . if you end up raplacing yours which you should ill help you out just message me

 

o and yellow you can get them at your local parts place but the only thing is the axles you will get is refurbed which is never good. if people have coilovers that are lower than any spring our axles dont like it at all. wayyyy toooo much stress on our stock axles. this is from my experience. all these refurbed ones i got keep messing up. but i keep using the warranty hahaha. but the drive shaft shop is what im going to save up for i mean if you want my axles ill get them on the warranty and ship it or if you every come down here.

 

o yea, and whered you get the tool needed to get the axle off?
i havent been able to find one anywhere, cuz i was gonna just get the boot from toyota, pull the axle out and replace the boot...

 

you can do that but you would rather replace the axle debris has made it in there already. but you can go to a local parts place and get a 18 point socket or if you are replacing it get a 32mm socket and hammer it on the nut and remove cause you wont need it if you buy a new one

 

yea, i havent been able to find the socket anywhere.
did u have to special order it or was it on shelf?

 

i just used a 32 mm and hammered it on the bolt and i had a new bolt

 

and used a breaker bar

 

For this you send in your axles and then you'd get them sent back right? I'd go for this.

 

yea thats my best bet... you dont need to send your old ones in there is no core charge. if there was the axles will most likely be refurbed thats why local parts places always want the the core

 

this probably a dumb question, but how does your boot get cut?
