I'm soon in the market for new rear axles (89 K1500 4x4). Seems like a lot of sellers are selling Dorman, but I don't trust them on axles. So, which USA mfgr represents a good price/quality value? I don't haul, tow or off-road with this tk, but you never know, right? I'd like OEM quality. I see Rock Auto sells Richmond (do they make them or resell imports?), and USA Standard Gear. I see AAM lists them on their website, but didn't see a price. Is Motive Gear (Summit Racing) a good mfgr or selling import axles? When I search the AAM axle part number it comes up as Motive Gear ..with the same part number (subsidiary??).

Your thoughts?

I like Richmond over others you mentioned.
