One of them is starting to click after only a couple thousand miles, it's been about a year since I replaced them and no longer have the receipt so I'm not interested in any kind of warranty.  What I'd really like is suggestions on where to buy axle assemblies from those that are happy with their replacement axles.  At one time Daryl from AA Transaxle made a suggestion, but I have not been able to find that.
