    Done a ton of research, looking for opinions now. have to replace d.s. axle tomorrow ,and unsure which brand to buy. I like how napa uses 5 bellows on each boot vs. a.z.and advance using only 3. Oreillys has Master pro brand with 5 bellows on hub end and 3 on trans end. Want something thats gonna last a while . Any opinions welcomed

    I always go new, the price change isnt huge and the warranty might be a tad longer, maybe.

    I got my remans from AZ, the RH and LH had 5 belows on trans side and hub. The old driver side was a PITA, but got both done in one afternoon.

    Works good enough for me

    I had an axle from Advance, but then read online and here how people wind up changing them out. Warranty is good as they'll replace it, but who wants to go through changing parts for free (time isn't), lol.

    So I returned the axle to Advance while ordering the Wbody one, got it quick, no core charge. Contact them and see what shipping is available?

    Good luck with fix!

    I heard that to but just wanted to hurry up and get them changed out and advance is literally across the street. So far so good no issues here even after being lowered. If the time comes and I have to change them out ill either warranty them out or go elsewhere.

    Edit: plus I enjoy using advance online coupon codes and make it cheaper!
