    Rear axles 300 TDI

    I am looking at replacing a friend's rear axles and flanges on a 300 tdi 98 model. What are the best axles and flanges to use as replacements?
    Paul.

    Definitely go some form of heavy duty (probably around $700) - my first replacement set of standard $120 jobs started wearing out after about 20,000 kms which was mainly road driving - standards are a waste of money - cheap but you'll be replacing them quickly especially if doing any off road work

    My Ashcroft's have been in for about 50,000 K's now (1/2 shafts front & rear + CV's) seen lots of off road, runs lockers on both ends with 33's (285/75x16 MTZ) and they havnt missed a beat.

    Had them out about 8,000k's ago and they all look brand new, no wear to be seen

    265,000km on Maxi Drive axle's and flanges (now Hi Tough) and still no appreciable play.

    They are good bits of gear, and the reality is you can't go wrong with either brand.
