    Default Need some axles made up...

    Anyone have a place that they'd recommend that can make/create FWD axles for a GM car?

    What I need to do is take my hub side joints and take the trans side joints and have it all on one axle per side. I'd like to go with bigger shafts if at all possible, but stock shafts would be ok for now. I just need a reputable shop that has great turn around time that knows what they're doing.

    I do have the trans side axle housings and my stock complete axles on hand, just no time to be dicking around with it right now to figure it out.

    PM me if you do not wish to post here. Thanks!

    Not sure if they do fronts or not, but shaftmasters in Llincoln Park has great service and turn around time when i use them. I'm sure if they don't do it, they know who will.

    Shaftmasters do not make anything for FWD applications.

    Anyone deal with Axles of Dearborn?

    You're another person that said that about Axles of Dearborn...
    Then what are my other options locally? I do not want to go out of state for something like this... and being Michigan, this is supposed to be the motor city capital!

    I'm more concerned about getting the correct length and it sliding in the splines correctly. If I have to goto dss they will want measurements. I just dont have everything parts wise assembled to do that.

    ummm, since this sounds like a swap, you need everything assembled to get the correct length............
