Default Axels have covid

I'm so sick of this covid BS. I've had on order since January the heavy duty inner axels only to find out they might be made in August. So I cancel that order and check another vendor only to be told call again in a couple of months. This sucks, first the government gives money to buy hot rod parts then shut down everything so nothing can be manufactured. What kind of irony is that? T

Similar issue. I ordered a sub frame for an F body I'm working on, last October. I get a back order notice that my order is pending. I ordered it from Jegs. So after three months I call the manufacturer to learn that I don't need to expect it for six more months to a year............maybe.

Thts why you should buy a gun instead. The Gov said they will buy them back in the future so its an investment, then when your parts are back in stock you can roll over the gun into car parts. WIN-Win....

It ain't free- just a loan WE have to pay back..

I've been trying to buy only USA made parts- and had pretty good luck not being backordered.

Just got a notice that my left rear caliper is on its way to me... from an order placed last June. All the other calipers and parts arrived by Fall but not this one. Ah well. Whatchugonnado?
