Hey, got a source for Auto Axles from LoBro? I could get the boots from Chris at T# add the good used or new CV joints and have spares I trust.

Of course the difference must be this: materials and tolerances.

And I believe that reason is because of pain-staking engineering and diligence, which includes metallurgy and tolerances. Unfortunately the only way to discover this for sure is by field testing...and eventually the word gets around. What's that saying?: Let the buyer beware. You get what you pay for. Sayings like these.
