The Lunsford version eliminates the E-clip and uses a button screw instead...


The best axle bar none .....

X Factory axles slightly heavier, but about half the price, too.

They snag the pipe and break the car , not to mention the steel bends...

Never run aluminum front axles, the outcome will never be good.

Run the lunsford axles if you really care about having titanium, but steel will be just as strong in this situation and much cheaper.

why not? How much a difference can you see or tell from a small peiece of metal? they are all the same in my eyes, if your worried about the threads coming loose, just use thread lock.

For the money, Ill go with these 13 bux shipped to the door. Instead of 24.99 plus 8 for shipping a small cheap part. IDk and how could Steel be more than Alum or TI????????

The problem isn't with the screws coming loose. The aluminum ones tend to break

I ran these on my B4 they work well. If I do it again, I would put them on again.
