First you need to know which version of axles,3 channel ABS or 4 channel ABS + TC.

does you car have traction control? if so its a 4 channel, if not its a 3 channel.

if you have a speed sensor on each rear wheel, its a 4 channel.

order axles for you make an model and they should come with the right spline count, which i believe is 27.

do a search in this 'gear and axles' forum for 'axle bearings' and 'axle seals'.you should find quite a few threads.

the best setup is going with NAPA bearings and the GM seals

i have heard horror stories about using timkin seals.

the total should be about $60 for the bearings/seals
