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.

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.
