Called the guy back just to make sure he was talking about $400 for the total quote, or did he mean $400 per side. Nope, he said it was for the whole shebang. Axles were something like $170 apiece.
I asked him if they were new, rebuilt, salvage yard, whatever. He assured me that they were new. Procured by a company named "FEQ". Anybody ever heard of them? Said there's like 5 of them in California, also some in PA, GA, OH and elsewhere.
Am I ill-advised to put "FEQ" axles in my Boxster?
He said he's put quite a few into Porsches, has had good luck with 'em.
