Thank you pot holes on the highway...

[sothardw]

Hey All,

I need to get new axles for my car. Hit a nasty pothole on the highway going 75 mph. Drove what looked to be fine, but the cold patch they used blew out, peppers the paint job with the material and slammed the car into what looks to be a 4" deep crater now. In the process, it also managed to destroy the axle on my passenger side. So I am going to replace both. Which ones should I go with?

hit up scratchnsniff or if youre on the facebook protg groups look for alex todd. he might have a set of oem axles. SOME autopart stores MIGHT have the correct axles for the MSP. but most have the ones for a regular protg.

Napa has the correct axles

I am not able to find him.

Striking out here. Napa found the right which will work but they no longer have a way to source the driver side... will Escort ZX2 axles work?

If you can't get the correct MSP axles, regular protege axles will suffice.

I actually found a place that deals with only European and Asian vehicles. They were able to get me setup. They should be ready for pickup tomorrow and getting that and my Tokico Illumina suspension put on as well as the Ford Escape front end links. So can't wait for Monday evening when everything is done!

Thanks for the help on this everyone!
