Default replacing axles

Hello guys,

I was wondering if anyone on here has used auto zone axles. The reason i ask is because my axles i think are pitted i am lowered a 1 inch on tien s springs and under acceleration it feels almost as if i have a flat tire or and hitting on of the markers on the road over and over again. If any one knows what this is or if i should just go ahead and get new axles.

Spend your money on whats been proven to work, if your stock axles are toast, you should upgrade them...gator axles and driveshaft shop have axles for our cars that have been proven to work, good luck-Justin

Just swap your cv's side to side or get axle spacers, that should solve your problem.

Yeah, swap the buckets side to side. It's cheap, it'll only cost you the price of the grease if you do it yourself since you can re-use everythingelse including the bands. And, once you'll get them apart you will be able to confirm they're pitted. Or, if you can get spacers cheap that's a good option. Even a set of rebuilt axles will be $300+.

This is a temporary fix, however to never worry about it again you need to replace
