wtf..

whats the serial # on your tranny? Its located on your tranny (going down to up) near where the tranny meets to the block, in the front.

im pretty sure s20 is a d15b7 (92-95 cx) transmission.

Either way.. any d-series axles will work (92-00). Are you 100% sure d16 axles dont work? Have u tried it yourself?

CDN tired... they are like 280, but when you brake them, go back and get a warranty replacement... i think its 5 years... depends on if you break them a lot.

no its free labour/parts. But in order to get the warranty they have to install the part.

honestly man, that seems worth it still.

pay a bit more up front, but in the long run, if you track and such it would pay off!

the rebuilt axles i get for about $120 have a warranty on them as well, and you don't need to have these installed by them (b.c its just a part store)....same with part source, i've taken advantage of their warranty on axles before with no questions asked.

you sure lenny? I know for a fact the "lifetime" warranty brake pads are only if you have them installed by our "licensed" installers. I assumed that implied for all the other parts also, axles, susp. components, etc.

hahaha, from what you saw. you probably were looking the other way when he slowly dropped too his knees(definitely not to pray) behing the counter.


all joking aside if partsource sells a similar product with the same warranty, i would just go there i guess. any restrictions? as in seperated at the hub is abuse and etc...

also, how does the warranty compare on the rebuilt ones?
