Sway-A-Way, Expensive however you get what you pay for. On the flip side I would think the EMPI or other China brands would be fine for a low horse power light Buggy with 31" and smaller tires.

SAW is short for Sway A Way.

I've got the red imported aftermarket axles iin my buggy.
No issues.......yet anyway.
Latest Rage I think.

The strongest and most expensive ones are Sway Away. You get what you pay for I have seen stripped splines on LR and Empi axles. Diamond also made very good axles but I don't think the sell them for VW anymore.

Go for SAW axles, best set $$$ can buy, should never have to go back.
