Better yet, I’m donating it. I can’t see doing all the work to replace an axel to put a questionable one in. I only bought because dealer told me remanned were discontinued and I didn’t ask if new ones were available, and I’d of rather put in a used OEM before an aftermarket. Turns out if you look around you can buy brand new ones for around $375 online from dealerships doing specials.

I think right now you can get one for under $300 shipped. Check out the discount thread.

thanks. I already bought and paid for one from my dealer. 363.00 I'm happy enough with that. it'll be brand new, and I'm not even ready for it yet.

My axles are torn but not sure if it's OEM or not, i want to reboot it but i dont want to if it's aftermarket. Do all OEM axles have yellow clamps on the outboard part?

There was a brief period where they didn't have yellow clamps. I got a set of those from McGeorge Toyota (now Ourisman Richmond) during tail end of covid. Had me scratching my head for a bit..."why aren't they yellow?!". May have been due to supply chain issues.

I just bit the bullet and ordered 2 new OEM axles, $680 shipped from Belle Lexus, also went ahead and ordered new Hub Flange and new C-Clips. Gotta refresh the drive line, pack bearings and do brakes while at it. Pocket hurts a little and im sure my back will too after i'm done, that knuckle weighs like 100lbs
