Hey everyone, I cannot find anywhere that sells re manufactured 4 Bolt Axles. The only thing Ive found is the Driveshaft Shops race axle, for $1799.99. Mitsubishi wants me to sell OEM ones for almost 500 Bucks each! I'm just trying find somewhere out there that sells them reman, without a core, if at all possible. Just something that can lower the price a bit. Any help would be great!
Jon

Its not gonna happen. You will not find a reman 4 bolt rear axle.
Your best bet is trying to find someone that will sell you a good used one.
Or if the cups and hubs are still good, and just the axle bar itself is broken, you can order the driveshaftshop rear axle bar upgrages for $500 for the set.

dan is right. you're more or less sol. i struck gold when i found a mint used set at a swap meet at the shootout a couple years ago for $60 for the pair.
but for you dan just in case you happen to need to, at your work do you guys ever order much parts from aci? if so supposedly they sell reman 92-94 rear cv axles for something like $120 each. found that out a year or two ago when i was looking and saw how much new mitsu ones go for.

Hmm... Interesting. ACI is actually a big customer of mine. I'll ask them about this next time they call in. What about Raxles? Do they make rears? As far as I know, they've never offered the rears.

Well that sucks.

Hmmm. Wow. Driveshaft shop is over 500 for sending your old ones in, and they just rebuild them with a new shaft. Then they have one 700HP one for 1799.99. I'll contact them to see what they can do for me Monday.
Reason why I need to find new ones, is that I'm having people email me for the whole kit. Since its not too often I get a whole 4 bolt in, people are requesting a quotes for New. That makes the kit like 2400 bucks if you get OEM, which is obviously ridiculous. 1000 of it is in axles alone, which sucks. I figure find them for 200 each for reman, that could get the kit around 1700-1800. But that still is very high, but all new.
I'll contact Driveshaft Shop, see what they can do for me. If not, maybe Ill have to see if a small custom shop would like a challenge. Or just start rebuilding them..
Thanks everyone! Jon

Really we just got raxles to start making rears for us 3S guys. Sounds like theres some money to be made around the dsm guys...

I just sent them an email, see what they are willing to do. I looked over the sight quick, didn't see anything for DSMs. Hope it could work out though..
