I needed to replace both axles due to torn boots, so I got two from ebay distributors. They said they were fully balanced. Once they were installed on the car I got some pretty bad vibrations, my mechanic started throwing parts at the car, which didn't help. I finally bit the bullet and brought it to mazda yesterday. They told and showed me how the axles weren't balanced which was causing the vibration, so now I need to get two more. I check the mazda sites for prices and they are very expensive for the 6 cyl auto and all the auto parts stores can't get them. I really don't want to resort back to buying them from ebay just in case I run into the same problem. Is there any where that sells them at a decent price?

$160, and from Advanced? $20 says they're remans, or made in China. Why even bother? Spend the money and get some decent ones.
