Do not buy an axle made in India...{I'm speaking from experience}I had an axle end that was too worn on the end to do anything with.I purchased an after market willfit axle and broke it within a week,took it back got another one on warranty,broke it same day.Took it back and they wouldn't warranty it.Went looking for a used one lucked out and found a 40 year old brand new one still packed in cosmoline after I got all the cosmoline off{what a job that was} I laid the axles side by side that was when I saw the ends of the India axle had been heated and the splines pressed in,The ends were a dark blue almost black from heat.But the splines on the old original were clearly machined in,no blue black from heat that made them brittle.The India axle may be ok if you aren't going to pull anything very heavy but if you do be prepared to replace it again real soon.God Bless,Beth and Allen
