Overboost - I was just looking at that option. I think you just convinced me. I can then re-boot the old shaft and have it ready to go for the next failure. Of course none of the AAP's near me have it - have to drive to the other side of town! Now to see if I can get that sucker out without too much trouble.

Like overboost I went the china route and bought mine at autozone. $70 an axle I think and lifetime warranty.

Does the ibus adapter work for a non Nav bmw unit? My e53 comes with a basic business CD unit. Non bmw Nav display. Will the ibus still work for me when I switch to Android head unit? |
I had a lengthy post about my day, but I messed up and lost it. The torn boot destroyed my day. I was unsuccessful in removing the 36 mm axle nut. I borrowed a proper impact socket from AutoZone and finally have an excuse to upgrade my ancient C/P gun with Harbor Freight's Earthquake XT impact wrench. Progress to resume tomorrow.
I DID pick up the cheap axle from AAP for $65 after discount code. The boot has likely been torn for a while, so hard saying how much damage the existing joint has suffered. AM. |

My middle son had a Subaru for a painful 3 years. For some reaon, it's well-known among Subaru loyalists that AM axles don't work well on Subies. He and I spent WAY too long pulling his axles out, cleaning, rebooting and re-greasing. I remember thinking.... this was simply not worth the time/effort.
If cheap axles can hold up for a few years, then I'll gladly skip the task of re-booting! AM. |

The motor dies at 200,000 miles too so I usually do the motor rebuild or swap and the axles at the same time :) |
