QUOTE (cheela @ Nov 5, 2013 - 2:39 PM)  ok, so what are your guys' opinion/recommendation on OEM vs Aftermarket? I'm sure OEM is best but just wondering if aftermarket has an issues/ problems. Autozone, Advance Auto, O'reilly's, NAPA, nor Carquest have the correct axle in stock. They carry a variation of TO-8100, which is categorized as a sixth gen axle but is actually for a 5GC, and is too short. EMPI is what ended up fitting for me, special-order through Carquest. Secondly, the Duralast axle I worked with did not have indentations on the tulip, which makes it hard pry out. Not much of an issue with installation, but if you ever have to remove it...
