It was only 3 reviews total though. So small sampling. Any other specialized axle shops? I guess the cv axle seal in there should be replaced.
    Whaaat? Negative reviews on Raxles? That sounds weird because I run Raxles & so does my friend with a DC2 Teg. Neither of us have ever had an issue & he beats the crap out of his car daily. I think they are worth it.
    Keep Pushing..

You can pop the seal out with a flat blade screw driver. I just pushed the same seal (new OEM) in by hand the other night. Other than that, you should be golden.
      Is that 2 seals. Are u talking about taking intermediate shaft out and replacing some other seal or just while half shaft is out replacing the one on inner outside. I don't think u are, but figure i'd ask to confirm as i am new at replacing axles. Seems straightforward so far but again i am new.

There's a seal and something else in there to change also(I've never changed a axle). Got to get all my ducks in a row cause i hate buying shit from local parts store. Twice the price for half the quality.
        Where did you find a OEM Axle in stock? I thought Honda was out of them?

            In my experience lately i have found that when things get discontinued that amazon might still have the oem sold by honda. I have found a few things this way and i am trusting that amazon is showing the real honda as the seller. I bought some seals this way and they came in honda package. I even searched thru all the stuff the honda seller sales and it is all honda oem items. Maybe someone else could share their experience also. As i would like to know for sure myself if this real honda.

              Insane axles are very popular out west. I’ve known a couple people who run them with great success. When I start snapping axles. Those will be what I buy.

                I have a set of Insane Shaft's axles. Granted the have only been used to hold the wheel bearings together while the car sits on the ground. I haven't had a chance to actually drive the car with them. I can offer some feedback after I get some miles on them.
