I rebuilt it, nothing is bent. I welded in a new core support and frame section. Also replaced all suspension parts including sub frame and steering rack. I have put probably 500 miles on the car since I did the repairs and seen 120mph + with no problems until this axle BS.

Probably not it...but did you ever get a front end alignment after all that suspension work?
Some people overlook that and having it all aligned makees a huge difference usually.

Yes, when I finished it the car was way out of alignment as expected. Got it aligned at Sears and everything was cool until I decided to see what she really had .... which was just enough to kill an axle .... now all these probs

Called Pepboys today. $69.99 + $50 core ea for remans ... they don't have new ones.

UPDATE: So I got a chance to talk to the store manager and told him the whole story and that I was less than satisfied with not having any cores to turn in elsewhere and so he refunded me $45 for ea core

So I went to another AZ location and they ordered me some NEW ones no problem ... supposed to be here tuesday

New axles are in and car runs smooth

Just nice smooth acceleration with some turbo hissing, then a bump in the road, and some scraping sounds
