I would assume that it would be a rebuilt one and that would just depend on how well it was rebuilt. I personally would consider it with the same consideration that I would consider a rebuilt one from any Auto parts store but the warranty would also have to be a consideration for me.

Good luck with your project.

GSP is a brand new, aftermarket axle. I have used them personally in two of my SVXs and in my old 92 Legacy with good results.

GSP makes both brand new, and rebuilt axles.
Around here the new ones are $69.95, and the rebuilt ones are $59.95.
I have had very good luck with them,
BUT NOT ON BARTS 5 SPEED!!!!!

I also had trouble with NAPA once, but I have purchased 5 or 6 of them and only one wasn't right. It was suspect when I bought it so I took it back and got a replacement. NAPA has a lifetime warranty...

As do the GSP's.
That means that will give you one replacement axle it it goes bad, but not reimburse you for the labor.
Sooooo, if you sell one to Bart, you are screwed!
