Some things to keep in mind. Don’t purchase the 944 complete axles as they don’t come with the same joint as
ones sold by our vendors. It’s of poorer quality. Your best bet is to use your original axles with the 944 joints sold by our vendors like Burley or Chris at t3technique.

I see very expensive 930 joints which, like any other off-road accessory, come with extensive list of benefits rivaling viagra.  Then I see roll-the-dice discount joints.
