I'd say when you get the axle no matter who it's from make sure there is actually grease in the joint. I can't tell you how many "remanufacturered" axles I've gotten that were dry. Pisses me off especially when they put in a card that explains why their product is the best. And, when you get a reman axle it came off a car at one time. So, If you are LUCKY they actually replaced the bearings in the joint.
