Axle/Half-Shaft

[Powered by Jay]

I was wondering where I can get a replacement axle for my rear drivers side. Threads are messed up. I checked autozone and was told it is a dealer only item. Is that true? Thanks.

junkyard it
you can use s13 on s14 and viseversa
ive done it
just make sure you get the left or right side
there are diferences left/right length wise

I would junkyard the part. They are plenty strong so get one at the junkyard. You could check the dealership to see how much they want to steal from you.

Are you refering to the splines by calling them threads? how'd you mess those up?

if it's the threads on the very end of the axle, it cost me FIVE WHOLE DOLLARS to drop them off at an auto repair shop and have them re-threaded, both right and left.
Easier than trying to source another axle imho.

It's the threads the 36mm axle nut screw into. hmm maybe I should find a repair shop like that around here.

Well I already started filing away but Damn it's taking a while. No luck getting it on there yet. I hope I can get it right before I file into the cotter pin hole.
