So, you want to make sure you choose a replacement axle that matches the original OE design attributes to ensure proper performance and durability.

The technician shortage is far from over. I don't believe that this problem will be easily solved.

What is a misfire? Is a misfire when the cylinder does not fire? Is it when the cylinder fires too soon or too late? The answer is “yes” to both questions. Some misfire complaints are a flashing check engine light, and a P0300 to P0312 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) indicates that one or more cylinders are misfiring. This is the easiest misfire to diagnose.
