No. As far as I've found, our axles are unique to our car. Makes it a PITA to find remans.

Those rebuilds always crap out early - it depends who has rebuilt them but I think there aren't too many axle "artists" around.
The remans I bought supposedly have a lifetime warranty. I e-mailed the company who made them today about that, so we'll see if they replace them or not. I'd rather go through a few $150 remans under warranty than shell out the $800 or whatever for new ones.

Otter, I guess it depends on how many miles you put on a car and your budget. I find stock new OEM axles to be very durable and last a long time. It just gets to be a pita to pursue aftermarket warranties, they argue and nitpick, it is time off work to take the car in again and again - it all just makes your head tired. Personally now I'd rather pay to get up to 300,000 km out of new OEM units.

If I raced (officially) though I'd get the cheaper remans with lifetime warranty - good thinking!

well, as it turns out, tires were the culprit. Threw some new ones on and everything was magically fixed.
