Hey everyone. New to the forum, just picked up a 98 GT. needs new half shafts and I've heard of some issues with different aftermarket replacements.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement axle? Thanks in advance

Good. I've been looking at those. Question though, comparing the new and reman axles on the Napa website, the new axles show as being a little shorter than the reman. Is this an issue? Should I go with reman?

I wouldn't use anything but GM axles.
I have a 2003 GTP, 124K, was "vibrating" when car dips, went with Autozone over online, free replacements VS waiting for shipping and RMA numbers....Took a little under 2hrs a side, not just the shafts though since I was already knee deep...shafts, bearing hubs, calipers, pads, rotors...there's much on how to remove them, what worked best was after removing the calipers, caliper bracket, original hub nut was 36mm, (air wrench or cheater bar on end of 1/2 breaker bar) replacement was 33, finally got to ues my wheel puller i bought years back on the hubs, off in a jiffy, but for little extra room and less frustration at contorsionist positions....remove the top strut bolt,whack it out, losen the bottom, the knuckle will then move down (with a little gentle persuasion) enough for the spleen to come out clean....
I'm cheap and run crap, but it's easy for me to swap and often parts are free.
I'd suggest going with the best warranty for the best price. Probably Napa.
I ended up using napa reman. Replaced those and the hubs. Vibration is dramatically reduced, still slight but i know the engine mounts are shot
