Have you had to replace any axles?

My car is down for its yearly thorough inspection after lots of track time. I have the rear axles out just to take a look to see if they are trashed since I had a bit of noise coming from the rear of the car and that is a known failure point. There are no cracks in the cages but there is some noticable wear on the cages. I am debating whether or not I should just bite the bullet and order a set of DSS axles now while it is all apart.

I am wondering how many track guys have had to replace their axles. If its very few I will likely hold off for now but if it seems pretty common (always hard to tell from the reports on the forum) then I will probably go ahead and do it. I plan to have forced induction on the car next year but don't plan to go above 300whp.

Thoughts?
