WHAT?! $500 is stupidly expensive. Try a different dealer. Oh, and get a replacement axle nut while you're at it if it doesn't come with one.

You can get 600+HP rated axles from diveshaft.com (or something like that. Google it) for that price. That's what I would do.

How can you break an axle by hitting a pothole though???
