Sup Guys! It's been a while 
Not sure if I mentioned I got transferred to Palmdale as fulltime. Hard to make plans to drive down for a meet. Miss you guys
Needed some help. My axles are done, gone, busted. Should I be buying new ones (autozone, pep boys, etc.)? Or should I look for them on here and get them shipped? Never had any axle problems. I thought it was my diff. making the crazy sounds, turns out my axles are no good. I took my S to my mechanic and he's charging me $275 to replace both. He said "axles are axles they are all the same." Who know what kind of refurbished axles he's getting me.
Please help.

did you fly over railroad tracks 14 times a mile at your usual 90 mph? i also dont understand how your axles went. but yeah $275 sounds about right for both, not including labor right?

I'll record a clip tomorrow and post it up so you guys have an idea of what they sound like. I'm better off going with what y'all tell me than someone who has never worked on and s2k.
Been having it for a while. Finally decided to fix it since I've been driving the S around town.
Thank guys
