What is everyone's opinion on the best brand of stub axles. Had a catastrophic failure this weekend and had to be towed out with the snow cat.

I am trying to replace all the old parts on the car. I figured while I am putting new axles in, I should replace the stub axles as well. They are over 20 years old.

Car is SU Sand Pro 1 with a stock Honda 3.5 and 2D.

What is everyone's brand preference and experience with certain brands?

 
type 1 style or micro stub?

if type 1, i still swear by finding the old OG german ones. you will need to have the cups machined and 930 flanges welded on but they bend before they snap. i ran them for 4 years pretty damn hard and never had an issue. switched to micro stubs when i built new arms to get rid of the worry and work if one ever did go. 

 
I just replaced mine because one broke after 14 years of abuse.

I went with the German ones.

Sorry I should have Clarified, I have 930 Micro Stubs. Not sure of the spline count though. I should know later.

 
in that case, id just take them out and inspect them. if the splines arent twisting and they pass a mag test from a machine shop. are your unit bearings the ones where they come apart if there is no stub axle in them?

These are actually a sealed hub.
