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.
