5.5 6 Speed Axle
Is there a specific brand that you guys prefer (OEM or aftermarket)? I'm looking at Rock Auto and a new one seems pretty cheap.

It's for $54 brand new. I thought these axles cost more..or am I not looking at the right place?

Damn you US guys have it good when it comes to parts pricing. That becomes a $95 axle by the time you ship to Canada.
If you order it let us know how it works out. I'm going to need a passenger side one soon.

Rockauto axles = ****
They will mail you auto axles, I had them send me 9 sets before I got pissed off and demanded money back. They couldnt seem to mail the 6mt axles to me. Every time I got one it was the longer Auto axles. pure BS even after they removed them from the box and confirmed the length.
Autozone duralast gold are best aftermarket I have found. I ride slammed on them for 6-10 months before they go out, and with lifetime warranty I have changed 3 times no problem. OEM rebuilds are the only way to go tho, that or OEM new. Rebuilds are 100$ per side, new is $700 per side

Not necessarily with my Maxima, but I've had good experiences with OReilly house brand axles actually. No idea how they compare to autozone, but I'm more of an OReilly fan myself. I used them on my last 240sx with a welded differential and those axles held up for over a year before I sold the car. No sign of issues whatsoever. I know it's RWD vs FWD, but they held up and I abused them a good bit, especially driving Louisiana roads.

Napa is probably next best bet.
