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.

If you get the iBus app and USB interface for the Android systems everything remains functional.

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.

Good call AM. For $65, it's not worth being down 2 days waiting on shipping. Like Crowz and I said, they are decent axle assemblies that will work just fine. :thumbup:

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!

Ive never had one fail except on my s10 blazer. They have to be replaced in it every 200,000 miles. It has over 700,000 miles on it so I have changed them a few times but they always get about 200,000 miles each time.

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

The resler iBus adapter (and iBus app) ONLY work on Anroid aftermarket head units..... So yeah, it"ll work, as long as the android unit you choose has a spare USB input that can be used for the iBus adapter.
