I'm trying to buy a new front axle and front bearing for my '09 SS/TC. Looking at Rockauto and other sites and I'm never certain if I'm getting the correct parts for the SS specifically. I've been burned by this a few times now and not just with my SS. I went to gm parts direct but they list the axle as discontinued, though I found the bearing through them. Does anyone have any good suggestions for axles and/or front bearings? Thanks!

 

Zzperformace has a "stage 1" lnf axel (i think set) for 200$. I might have an extra lnf front hub (contains berring) and I can check that monday.

 

Yes and all those are napa rebranded axles. I got those stage ones axles for my G5 from my local napa last year

 

Ahh, very interesting. Thanks! I did a bit more research as well and found that this should fit fine as well:

 

Stay away from gm parts direct, they're thieves.

 

I'm sure there's a thread somewhere regarding why? Out of curiousity, I ordered a set of rotors and pads from them circa 2012 with no issue. Granted, that was 10 years ago.

 

Most are probably ok. I've written the BBB which is still in process but basically i need a clutch this week and the website said it would arrive on time so i ordered but it never updated for two days, so i called and emailed and they never responded. I then emailed that since they won't respond i need to cancel. Then they responded and said it would be a 35% restocking fee. I said don't charge the fee, that's ridiculous but they did anyways. I'm also disputing through PayPal. So they won't talk to you until they want to steal your money.

 

Dang, in that case thanks for the heads up and good luck!!!

 

GM Parts Direct used to be a great outfit. I ordered a GM performance clutch, flywheel and a few other things and they were a lot less money then most and fast delivery. This was about 10 years ago. About 3 years ago I ordered a few things and when items didn't come on date they had estimated I got a backorder date that increased every time I looked. They would not respond to emails, calls or remove the charge when I said repeatedly to cancel the order. Finally got in touch with someone after about a month and got it taken care of. Avoid them at all costs!
