Default Rear axle ordered from NAPA

so i cheaped out because i needed an axle quick! my rear drivers side axle gave out after 2 weeks of hearing it click. should i be worried about the rear axle i just ordered from NAPA auto parts?? im not going to be launching the car or anything but i kind of feel like i dont have confidence in driving it hard and doing hard turns (which i do often).

and has anyone purchased a generic brand before? or i think these might be recertified..

Here's a brief discussion of these axles from a few days ago: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=606662

They're warrantied for 3 years, 36,000 miles.

Your power level shouldn't have anything to do with the boots ripping. I guess if anyone does get these, make sure you check the boots very closely and keep them clean and pliable as possible.
