hey all,

I was wondering if you guys knew a good replacement axle for an 07-08 fit. My wife has had both of hers replaced with aftermarket ones from the dealership, and one already was replaced under warranty thankfully, but both are going out again. My friend who works at the Honda dealership told me that they won't even put aftermarket axles on any Fits, due to not fitting correctly. Stock Fit axles are like 700-800 apiece not including install. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good aftermarket axle that any of you have used for replacements that have not gone out in like 5-10k miles after install. It really is a waste of money to buy stock honda ones for the price that the dealership wants for factory ones. Thank you all in advance and God bless!

i bought mine from rockauto.com

 

How long have you had them installed if you dont mind me asking? Thanks for the reply though!

 

10k so far give or take. 80 bucks an axle and installed at pepboys for like 150

 

no clicks or pops so far?

 

none that i can tell... mind u the other side i had done at honda and bought oem, paid so much more. eff the dealer for failing to diagnose the faulty side. i had a bad vibration problem.

 

thats actually kinda funny in a sad way, they misdiagnosed the wrong side on my wife's car too.

 

yes that was a big hit on my wallet, and i couldnt afford another honda oem replacement/labor, so 200~ for the other side, sure why not.

 

I appreciate the response! When my wife's axle first snapped on her '07, it actually split on the metal rod of the axle. If anyone else wants to weight in on this I would appreciate it if you had used an aftermarket axle replacement on your fit, and the reliability of it.
