As of -recent, I just replaced a GKN in March, and the same one was also replaced 2 years or so earlier - GKN as well. Thank goodness for FCP except their warranty has changed a *bit* on how it works

I would have certainly preferred OEM and initially I'd thought I'd only have to replace the CV joint, but that doesn't seem to be the way it works these days, at least not for these cars.
I'm considering sending the OEM axle off to CVJ in Denver on the recommendation of @effduration ... wouldn't mind having an OEM spare at the ready the next time this comes around. I've got two of these beasts and plan to keep them as long as I can continue to afford the maintenance. And, realistically speaking, as long as I'm physically able to do most of the maintenance myself. I'm not so young these days.
Cheers,
Chris
