I have spent a fair amount of time looking for half-shafts to fit my Torsen conversion, with no success. I am looking for a set of remanufactured, or used that I can send to be remanufactured axles that fit on a Torsen conversion. Any decent sources?

You can use NA 1.8 or NB axles. Planet Miata or East Street come to mind immediately. I've bought some used parts from Flyin' Miata too. Car-Part.com is good for finding some parts but quality will vary by the seller. I sometimes see great deals on ebay or craigslist but they can both be a complete crap shoot.

Assuming you have installed a 4.3 Torsen diff(and new driveshaft!) you can order axles from Mazdaspeed if you cant find a used set. The early 1.8 axles were 2 piece and changed to one piece at some point in 95(and all years after) I think. Either will work. Make sure you order new end nuts whichever way you go...and be careful to order the correct size as there are 2 sizes(if you pick up used). We are lucky in CA that there are a lot of these cars around and CL always produces these...I just picked up an extra set for $100. Have you tried car-parts.com or planetmiata? Or Eaststreet(Drago)!!! GL!

EDIT...we think alike Keith!

Thanks. Looks like I might find one near here on Car-Part.com.

Thanks. Don't want to spend the money for a new set. I was going to contact the normal suspects if I couldn't dig one up on my own.
