Oilite Axle

[Cam]

Hey guys,

Looking at buying one of these 'Oilite' axles from Imaxles, just wondering about any feed back from people that have them?

Also do they lower them for you or do you have to pay extra?

Also would it be worth ordering the 106 gti one due to bigger ARB?

I will have to get it deliverd due to distance.

Any feed back would be great

Oilite ones are more expensive than a standard re-furbed one. They will lower it for you before its sent out. Its an exchange unit but the cost of return postage is in the price you pay at the start. Not sure on the price difference between 106/saxo one.

My VTR has had one on it for nearly 3 years now.
It was fitted service exchange and lowered by IM 50mm with apex dampers. It is a very firm road setup but i would recommend it, its good!
Only problem ive had is it developed an odd creak at one point when reversing, not sure if it was beam related, but it stopped before i got around to checking it out.
done 30,000miles, still no play at all, so all i can say is its done its job so far.

Ok guys thanks, was just going to change to bearings in my current axle but after alot of reading it just dont seem worth it for it to fail soon.
