    Does anyone know this brand of Drive Axle(Fenco)?

    I just took my car in for inspection, and i was told that my front driveshaft need to be replaced~

    Anyways~ The Price for OEM part is 541 CAD each side after 20% off they give me~
    Local Junk yard cost 195 CAD each side

    Repalacement Part I called for local parts store is 120 CAD each side.
    and the Brand Name is Fenco.
    http://www.fencoparts.com

    I'm wondering that have you guys ever heard Fenco? and quality of their parts?

    Thanks in Advance!!
    deeply appreciated~

    That's what..$80-90 USD? Sounds about right for an axle..maybe even a little high -- do they carry a warranty?

    I paid 185 for each of my axles so that seems like a bargain for me! I have herd of FENCO before but my friend came acorss them for his cavalier and they seem to work pretty good are lightweight compared to stock.

    i think there is 1 year warranty, i don't want to use junk on my car. :(
    so i'm hopping to get something good but lower price than oem parts

    no problem at all??

    thanks!

    If you're just looking for a stock replacement, then the best place is www.raxles.com. Tell them that Dr Tweak from Phoenix Tuning sent you... these guys use ALL NEW joints when they rebuild the axles.

    that is why i bought some new. because i broke the second set of axles my car had and those were rebuilt. but then again to bought them from autozone. So i just went to a local shop and purchased new ones and lighter ones.

    yeah, i'm only looking for stock replacement~

    Thanks for the info, deeply appreciated! :)


    I decide not to buy the Fenco ones, because i already have some review from them, that they are junk acutally..

    Thanks for the opinion :)

    i just took my car to the shop this morning, and got it back 2 hours later.
    the problem is gone! (didn't have time and without the right tool to do it myself)

    i bought the drive axle from junk yard, which is the fastest way and cheaper way compare to the new one.

    hopefully this problem will never come back again~ :)
