Default Broken Rear Axle

Hey guys, the other day I ended up breaking my left rear axle (driver side), while looking for replacements I've found a few for 150 rebuilt ones and such. Mine isn't able to be rebuilt from where it broke. I found these:

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...2C+Driver+Side

http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...gs+Best+Seller

Any opinions on which to go with? I don't really want to break another.

(PS. Car is all stock, not used for racing or anything eventful)

NEVER but aftermarket axles, they are weaker and not made for lowered cars, and contain constant acceleration vibrations



(Left)OEM (Right)Aftermarket copies

Where is your axle broken? Spider inside the inner joint?

Just get a cv joint kit from honda. New bucket, rollers, spider, boot, and grease.

It broke right behind the nut on the outside where it pokes through the wheel, so when I pulled the wheel off to find what cause my caliper to hit the rotor, it fell out. So I need to look into resurfacing the rotor, replacing atleast part of the caliper (not sure if I just need to get one certain part or what yet), and a new wheel hub, which has a majorly worn down spot (I think from when the wheel bearing went out a while ago, which looks like it could've added stress to the axle). I just went with the remanufactured one from Autozone, now it's time to get a wheel hub.

Still running the remanufactured from Autozone with no issues. Maybe I lucked out, but seems to have paid off this time around.
