I installed both rebuild axles back in 2010 with no issues. Today, 75k miles later, they still looks and perform great. Got them from NAPA store.
Also, replaced steering racks on both of my X5s using "A1-Cordon" rebuild units from Partsgeek.com. No issues 40k miles later. The reason I replaced them - really tired of heavy steering, so I retrofitted units with servotronic option. Relatively simple mod making day and night difference in driving experience.

I'm on $55 Cardone axles (Rockauto) and it's an easy swap, and have been working great for years.

I'll chime in that the A1 Cardone parts have a spotty record for me. I also drive a R53 (big difference!) and I'm on my 3rd Cardone rear calipers in 8 months. First one arrived FUBAR. Second one just just froze up. Waiting for the replacement. Wish I had just rebuilt my own calipers... Rock Auto does stand behind them, but I feel like a chump replacing the same caliper for the third time. Good news is the brake fluid is really well flushed by now ��
