Hello, it's a new week and new issues:) My passenger side rear wheel axle has too much play in it again. I fixed it once this year but it didn't turn out 100% good so i knew it was coming ! And i fixed driver side in 2009, that one is still good. Well to my issue then, the bearing has eaten into the axle and it's also a bit twisted (wobbles) I think it is the GM 10 bolt 8,5 inch rearaxle 28 splines and 6 lugs. I need a new drive axle and new bearing and seal. One thing that makes me wunder WTF the ppl was thinking with when they made this axle, is the bearing size. And it rolls straight on the drive axle :eek:

Will the cheapest AXLE from rockauto work or is it just crap ? My dealer orders from there so...

I could also swap both axles to DANA or some but we don't have to much of that kinda stuff in Finland..
