My passenger axle is bad and found out raxles don't rebuild ours anymore. Does anyone know any good aftermarket replacements? (car is free/cheap modded only) I bought Duralast gold but didn't put it in yet since I'm waiting on oem axle seal and could return it if I thought there's much better options. Although many places require a core but not AZ so that's why I got it and unsure whether I should be worried about saving my bad oem axle now. I did count splines and make various measurements comparing this one to oem and everything seems good. The wheel side of axle seems a bit stiff though especially compared to transmission side, autozone said it's normal and they loosen up after driving awhile, is that true?
On axle seal, do I need to drain all the tranny fluid before install? Will seal only tap in so far before it can't go any further because not sure but thought i seen somewhere 1g fwd seals are tricky to install. I was thinking of running a bead of red rtv inside transmission to a make better seal, is that a good idea and if so how long should I wait before adding tranny fluid + starting car? Any tips is appreciated for 1st time install, Thanks!
