you could just go to autozone to get the junk one. it will look nice and good, but GUARANTEE it is junk.

For whomever this place is that s going to build a superior axle, they need to use Subaru boots. Aftermarket boots are like bread wrappers, Subaru boots are thick, tough and long lasting.

Re: front axle replacements

OK silly question - What the heck is a "Level 5" axle .... how does one equate L5 Vs L4 Vs L3 etc

Re: front axle replacements

The different levels refers to the horsepower that the axle can handle w/lower numbers being for less horsepower and the higher the number the stronger the axle to handle the higher horsepower.

Re: front axle replacements

I decided to have Thedriveshaft shop build new axles for the SVX. The axles will be overkill for the SVX at level 5 but they are the same price as OEM axles. I bought a used OEM axle to send them for correct measurements so in the future they will have a OEM prototype sample and not cheap Chinese junk.
