Now, last time I snapped the end of the passenger side axle so foolishly I went to ford and paid $650 each for two new axles, today I went to my local CBC bearing bearing shop and they quoted me, no sh*t, $270 ea delivered. I am so pissed because for what I've forked out I could have a shed full of Spares!!! I sure as hell will not be making that mistake again.CheersGav Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/39378-ford-axles-a-rip-off/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
