I need a new axle for the driver's side. It's a 06 all-wheel drive. What brand do you guys recommend? From what I see it goes from $150 all the way up to $800 just for the part. I don't mind spending a little more but that price difference is too big of a gap.

 

cardone manufactured are they best replacement, I purchased mine from rockauto.com

btw the drivers axle (the long axle), is a nightmare to remove. By all means I would pay a shop to replace that axle. The other side is not as bad.
