Dealership can't get a front axel?
So, it's been a couple weeks now and the local dealership can't locate a front axel?
This is for a 2008 SS...how hard can it be? I have an extended warranty that is going to cover the repair, but the dealership is saying they can't find one.
Has anyone else had this problem with this?

Apparently they are scarce, I did Google for 2008 SS and found a none GM site for First Equipment Quality , they list different axles for left and right and then automatic or standard transmission for the SS model, around $ 60.00 each
I do not represent this company or suggest you purchase from them just that I found info via a Google search
I did not find any axles for the SS on any GM sites at this time

The problem I found with many places...
The computer will list the same part number for the SS as the non-SS, however they are differnt parts with the SS one being bigger.
But the funny thing is...half hour after I posted...the GM dealership called to let me know they got the part in.
I'll have my car back tomorrow :-)

Must be the power of the Google search! LOL
Glad to hear the SS is on the mend! Now no burn outs with that new axle!!
And no Guns and Roses!! Either too much Axle Rose!!
I know I know and no Beverly Hills Cop theme music!
Too much Axle Foley!! Eddie Murphy!

While I know it's not the dealer, https://www.rockauto.com/catalog/raf...e=CHEVROLET&ck[ID]=0&ck[idlist]=0&ck[viewcurrency]=USD&ck[PHP_SESSION_ID]=5u834ppo43b9u5mvpt5tiipqi7
They are out there, I need to replace my left one.
Oldblue, $ 60.00 dollars each... are you sure that is for the whole half shaft or just one of the CV joints? On the Rockauto site ~ $ 142

Please understand I was not trying to "zap" anyone. It was just a thought that people could use the time for other project suggestion requests......once the answers start, very few will begin from the beginning and continue suggesting places to purchase.
