I've had good luck with new Chinese replacement axles in an 850 and my current 2005 S40. With the regular 20-30% discounts, convenience, and warranties available from Advance Auto, Autozone and the like, I can't help but take a chance.

My Honda is a different story. I went that route on them and instantly regretted it. Vibrations under power from day one. Online forums all confirm that Hondas are very particular about their CV axles and it's best to stick with OEM. Volvos, in my experience, are not so particular.
