We replace our axle every winter. Sometimes more if it takes a big hit. $600 is a lot cheaper than $6000 to rebuild a car from scratch. While you're in there look around. Make sure bearing chrome is not pitted or flaking and make sure the wear on the ring and pinion is not to the edges of the teeth.
