The first link was not working for me.The second link, yes that is all you will need. I assure you it is not as crappy as you think. The stub axles are black to begin with and even when clean the diff shell itself is a dark color. A friend has bought 2 helicals from that YO YO cat, and went smoothly.Just verify with the seller that both stub axles are included. When I bought mine through Japan dyno exports or some such thing, it shipped out with only one stub axle. They can be bought here, but no one (at that time) stocked them. 6 week wait.Overall that is a good price if you go with the slow shipping. Otherwise, it's a fair price.
