I've been using regular 325is axles for a couple of years now. The axles I bought were in horrible condition, so I went to an auto parts supplier that had them rebuilt for about 100CAD each.
No problems so far. (knock on wood)

2) New E30 325is axles: outer CV joint about to go out after 2 years, leaking grease from poorly sealing stamped metal flanges. (BTW, got these from Zygmunt/bimmerparts.com. Build quality sucks.)
Has anyone found *reliable* axles for this swap? I'm leary of buying another set of used OE E30 axles because of the age/mileage. If the latest axles I bought are any indication, the build quality of aftermarket axles seems to suck. Anyone have suggestions? Thanks.
