Advance no longer carries 123 axles. Macautoparts.net continually carries them. Same manufacturer as Advance.
Part #12718 $80, new, lifetime warranty. No core.
Been running them for a year, and have installed them in 3 customer's cars.
RE: Rear Axles on the Cheap. - winmutt - 09-20-2009
I wonder what happens when advanced is going to warranty mine.

not having any luck finding "macautoparts.net" is there another name to search under?
I have replaced the rebuilt axles 4 times in the last 50k, and new ones would be nice peace of mind in the middle of the winter

I heard that the checker and advance rebuilt axles have a 50/75 % failure rate according to one of the guys at the counter! he said he didn't know why?
I DO!!! they are rebuilt in 3rd wold country's by people that make $.50 an hour no offense!

There was certainly different levels of qualities I received (I am on my 5th one now and it is clacking). Early on no qa, poorly torqued bolts. Later on QA and no problems.

I'm still running on my 1st set of CVJ reman axles.
