I don't think the axle shafts are the weak link. Are yours bad? If not, I'd put new wheel bearings and seals in and run them.

Just my 2 cents.

^^^ that.
A4s' aren't abusive to rear ends. Shouldn't have any typical breakages as seen with M6s'.
Bearings wear out,especially if rear end lube is still original. Pinion bearings,carrier bearings,axle bearings. NEVER use axle saver bearings !

Please save your money a little while longer and grab yourself a nicely built Custom 8.8 I bought mine from Hawks Motorsports they built a real nice unit for me with Moser 33 spline axles I hate to see you spend good money in the 10 bolt they just don't hold up for long good luck man
