    So, i need to replace my driver's side Axle tomorrow and I'm torn on what part to buy;

    I can go to Oreily's and get :

    Master Pro Select Axle for $69.99

    or

    The Master Pro Axle for $59.99

    but I've never heard of this brand, and I can't find any reviews on them.

    The other options are :

    GSP Brand name Axle at advance for $69.99 but it got really crappy reviews.

    or

    Fenco brand name axle at Advance for $59.99, but I know nothing of the Fenco brand name either...


    The only benefit of going to Advance vs. Oreily's is I have family that works there, so I get a discount. Has anyone here used any of these particular parts or have any advice on them?

    Thanks!

    If any of them have a lifetime warranty get that one, besides that I don't have any other advice. I think I've used a master pro part before but can't remember for sure.

    Don't buy a GSP. I ignored the bad reviews and payed for it, twice.(Well its lifetime warranty but I payed for it in the sense of taking the time to change it) Just swapped my summer tires over last night and what do you know, leaking again!

    I just bought one off rockauto.com, EMPI to be exact.

    Yeah the reviews on the Advance Auto website steered me far away from the GSP axles.

    FYI if you order from advance you can use the discount BIG20 and knock 20$ off the axle and get free shipping (if you need it shipped)

    Cause the axle is used in about 60% of the GMs on the road LOL
