Just a heads-up on EMPI axles - don't do it!

Just wanted to pass on my experience with EMPI-brand axles. Put one on the passenger side of my '95 Aero six months ago, and have been listening to an increasingly-clear clack/rattle coming from the outer-joint portion of the axle for the last two months. Trying to skimp on critical drive / high-load components is not worth it. Next time I will bite the bullet and buy the outer CV joint kit, tripod bearing, boots and grease, and do it myself. It really is not that hard - if you're replacing your axle on your anyway, you can rebuild it yourself.
