Check your local auto parts store. Napa, autozone, orileys...... some make their own axles and they have a lifetime warranty on how ever it breaks they will warranty it.

Thank u. Are the driver side and passenger side the same part? Because I found another p/n ending in 7 instead of 8 and it says on Amazon that buyers usually buy both.

This gets argued a lot, but I have found them to be the same on the 2.0 cars.

Dude, get the **** outa here. I gave a legit answer to his question. I didn't give a part number but I told him where to get the axle.

Your answer was not a "legit" one.

So when I order these axles should I go ahead and change the trans fluid? Doesn't some leak out during the swap?

A little will leak out, but it's an easy job and you'll have extra access to get the plugs removed. You may want to get a axle seal as you can damage the seal while pulling the drivers side out.

hit up mongorat on here he may even have one laying around. as far as the trans fluid, you can change it if you want to but when i changed my axle i didnt lose that much fluid so i was still good to go.
