Well after 5 years my driver side axle boot is all gone and my rim is full of nice thick grease. I want to replace both of them and i want to know what are some good brands besides O.E.M

Any parts store axle will work just fine, and it they come with warrantys. Try to get a new and not a reman, this way your chances of it being defective are cut down.

you will be fine anything over 300 ish needs stronger axles if your tracking it, street will be super fine..

I had a 380hp hatch that ran on stock OEM autozone axles without any issues until I went to the track then I could not stop from breaking them ... street is 100% fine

but i am all for the lifetime warranty axles at autozone.

i look at it this way... i would rather my axles be my weak link than to upgrade axle and then my tranny be the weak link
