I have a slight vibration at high speed and assuming the tires are ok I'm looking at replacement axles. Can anyone recommend some good ones that take K04 power on up? I've seen mention of Drive Shaft Shop and just sent a message to Raxles.
I also see a few options on ECS and kind of surprised the expensive OEM ones are all remanufactured with core charges.

Aren’t OEM axles pretty tough and can handle K04 power ? I think what other ppl use are raxles.

DSS makes axles for 6 speeds only. I've talked to them about a set for the DSG and they'll need a bunch of measurements. Just waiting for some warmer weather so I can crawl under there and check it out.

Yeah, the oem axles have held up well but I'm not keen on remanufactured ones. Have only heard good things about Raxles, just need to know how much. The GKN ones ECS sells are apparently a big OE supplier, so I might give them a shot.

Got a response from Raxles...DSG axles are in stock and $249.95 each.
