I've heard mixed reviews on the Chinese produced aftermarket axles. I'm convinced there's no way they measure up to the Volvo (GKN) units. On two different cars, one Volvo and one Hyundai, I've had good results with rebuilt factory axles from Axles Unlimited. I replaced one side only on the Volvo and it probably has about 20,000-25,000 miles on the replaced axle. Both axles on the Hyundai about 10,000 mile ago. To date, no problems with any of them.

Just another option to consider. Oh yeah, I think they ran about $110-120 ea plus shipping.
