Craig, that is great! I actually had one customer that was driving around on his front axles only for several months! I didn't believe it when he told me his mechanic removed the rear axles because they had gone bad. He was driving around town and even on the highway with only the front axles installed. I told him that wasn't a good idea and sold him a pair of new rear axles but so far the front stuff doesn't seem the worse for wear. Ken Wilford John 3:16 www.vanagain.com
