I was putting in my new axle today, and while flexing it into the hub, the outer joint failed. I don't know if I abused it (don't think I did), but they were happy to send another with a call tag to pick up the failed unit. More to follow. A local auto parts shop told me Cardone makes most all the axles we buy here in the US - don't know if that is true, and don't know why they are charging $109 for a rebuilt with core if a brand new one is $119 at FCP. Then you have the Volvo part - that must be foreign, or it should be for those $. Something doesn't make sense. I just replaced a bad sway bar link that was put in 20k miles ago (all smooth highway driving) that says "Made in Germany" on it. The FCP part says "Made in Germany" AND "Volvo". I guess time will tell if it is any better.
