I want to rebuild my axles. There is a lot of slop and noticeable vibration when accelerating, particularly from a stop. I have scoured the forum for suggestions. I’ve been told the originals are not available. Can I:
1. Swap them side to side putting the worn areas on the deceleration side.
2. Buy Toronado axles on eBay. Take the cv joints off and put them on my axles.
3. Buy eldorado axles and do the same as 2.

I have read that there are correct Toronado axles and incorrect ones, but I don’t know how to tell them apart.

What are your recommendations? What are the pitfalls?

Many thanks
