GM 12b Axles
« on: Dec 17, 2007, 08:28:56 PM »
So I broke a rear axle, I want to go with a 14b full floater but I dont have the funds for that right now.  The junk yard has axles for like 50 bucks, but has anyone ever heard of these:

They say that there is a 10 year, no questions asked warranty.  For $85 an axle doesnt it seem worth it???  I know it shows 5 bolt pattern but the description is for a 6 bolt.

heard they do pretty good. question though, how much does a junk yard in your area want for a 14 bolt full floater because usually 300 bucks is what their asking or less.

Yea about that, but then I added up everything such as changing the the axle seals, possibly the bearings, changing out all the breaks, plus the 12 bolt I have has Richmond 538 gears that match the front. 

I was thinking if I spend under 200 for these axles, that when it comes time to sell my set of axles it will just make it more attractable and maybe I can get another $100 out of it, you know...?
