Axle bucket pitting!
#11
There is some good advice in the thread. Here is another outlet for good OEM axle replacement, Gator Axle in Orlando Florida....these guys do a great job on our factory axle and they are reasonably priced
As for a DIY repair, A simple swap from one side to the other is fine for a quick temporary fix but if you really want the issue to go away you have to do some work. I learned a lot when I did my CV axle restoration, using the right grease is paramount.
Getting good advice here on the forums and talking to places that rebuild CV axles it is unanimous, get the right grease for the job
Here is my DIY thread on what I did and used in the end to get my axles right, they are smooth in operation and I'm sure they will be for years to come

works like a charm - doesn't seem to have any of that vibration issue anymore.
I'd probably do the axle cup swap first - if you're able to just do the work.
If anyone wants my old cups - hit me up. Located in San Jose. Otherwise I'll throw them out.

I just ordered from Raxles.com, lifetime warranty so I'm hoping I'll be good. I heard good things about em and talked to the guy from there, seems legit.
Word of advice, do not get Autozone axles or any axle for under $200, will be garbage. I tried the Autozone route first.
