Hi All -

I'm getting ready to replace the right side CV axle on my '05 and was wondering if the E53 brain trust has any brand recommendations or advice about brands to stay away from.

The first two times I did this job (both on the left side) I used GKN but they seem to have gotten significantly more expensive. Specifically I'm looking at a brand called GSP that is about $150 less than the GKN. I've seen others out there that are even less.

I don't mind shelling out for quality parts, but at the same time $$ are tight around here at the moment.

Thanks in advance for the good counsel.
