Comparing axles + need help Options

[808celica]

anyone know if the GT drivers axle from an auto can work in a manual????

i really need to do my axles and i have my pass. side. Napa for some odd reason doesnt have the driver's side
i checked the lengths of each in the haynes book and both are similar in length with the auto axle more than a hair longer.

anyone know if this could work?? cuz i dont feel like spending 200+ on an axle and waiting 4 days for it.

anyone know the teeth count for the auto and manual axle?

I just bought a brand new one (not rebuild!) from carquest. It was only 75bucks with core, and is probably the best looking axle ive ever bought.

YEah we have carquest.

checker's/o'reily is the one who qouted me 200+ even with my cousins, Herosblade on here, employee discount.

stupid quantity vs demand crap....and also that Hawaii is just plain to expensive to live ...not much is available for our cars here on the island. most of the stuff i ordered or replaced came from Cali.

Imma call carquest today.

Cool cool. Thanks Pare if i can get a new axle i'll just buy one. then rebuild the ones i have now and save them for.....the future

damn son i went to oreillys and i believe brand new NOT OEM but still brand new was 70 each although is it the shipping to the islands that might be killing you?

[808celica]

nope.........well i guess cuz its coming from the outer island.

i just called CarQuest and they dont have it, nor does the other stores

I called the guy and asked him for axles. Then he was like.........."by anychance you drive the black one with pikachu hanging from the back?"

I was like, "the shiny ass one with a gtfour wing??, yeah that's me "

He's gonna ask around and call me back if he finds anything.

What was the company that made yours? Mine is CARDONE.
I just put it in today... I should have taken a picture of it compared to the stock one. It looks a lot thicker and stronger then the oem one.

How much would it cost to ship one from the continental US? It sounds like it would be less for you to buy it on line or from someone on here who could pick it up in person and ship it to you. The axle on the CSKOriellies site says it's $104 and about $60 to ship, but there's also a $60 core. But if it's $70 at a Carquest, that would at least save you a little bit after shipping...

yeah michelle i was thinking the same. have my friend in washington ship me one down. but still i was supposed to do the job today, one time left and right.

Lago mines is pretty thick and shiny

Yup mine was cardone as well. It's like 2x thicker than the stock one, the cv boots appear to have one more pleat, it's flat black and looks like it won't give me trouble for a while.

My napa rebuilt one on the passenger side though sucks. I don't know if they overpack the boots or what but it spits out a ton of grease from the clamps. No issues besides that though... Yet.

[lagos]

Yep thats how mine is. Really nice axle.

[808celica]

really?!?!? the napa axle gave you problems. damn its looks soo beefy though the cv boots

[samir0189]

yup, actually this is my second problem with a napa axle. The first driver side one i had was out-of-round and ate up my new axle seal, as well as spat out a ton of grease. Thats the one i replaced with the super sexy carquest one.

Both the crappy quality and horrible service from the Napa's around here have made me swear to myself to never shop there again. They suck here.

[808celica]

wow. i didnt know that. i guess i'm going to gamble with these then. lucky i chose not to send back my stock one and im gonna buy some auto axles and boot kit from luka. since trdproven has them on. we'll see though.

[samir0189]

Well good luck Jon. I'd be willing to help you out if i could but I'm sure shipping would be a beast from here to there.

[808celica]

hahaha yups. well im hoping my driver's side isnt bad. the pass side ripped had fun. got a boot kit from luka and his auto driver's side. imma rip open the car tomorrow

[95celgt]

yes the auto ones work, does your car have abs??? I have good oem non-abs axles lying around that you could have had for free+ship since i have no use for them (i have abs).

[808celica]

sweet yes my car has no abs. i was waiting for a definete yes

i'll pay for the fastest shipping and safest shipping. i'll send you Chocolate covered macadamia nuts
