I recently bought two new axles from Rock Auto for an 80s VW. One was marked as a "manufacturer's closeout" and was priced at about 1/10th the cost of a genuine, new VW part. The axle arrive unpainted with some rust spots on it "new". The axle for the other side was good quality, new, and priced a lot higher.
If your axle was a new part, I expect it was a cheap knock-off made of Chinesium rather than an OEM $900 part. Someone saved money and it wasn't you.
