    Finally replaced my destroyed drivers side CV axle. Pretty sad that thing that took the longest amount of time was getting the stupid dust cover off, gotta love New England where the rust makes everything just about weld itself together. Also didn't realize you had to remove the sway bar link, so spent about 10 minutes trying to figure out why the old CV wouldn't come out :anonymous:

    From what I've read most people get ARP Lexus IS300 replacements. Couldn't find much detail other than that though...

    @cbechtold used the Dorman brand pictured below for his front hubs. Maybe he'll know more detail about those.

    If it's still engaging them most likely. I'll go synthetic later down the road.

    Not necessary per se, but highly recommended.

    That souds like engineer talk. Yes, in theory it's not necessary to replace them, but I've had them fail, and they're cheap, so they'll be replaced every time.

    Not sure how much of a good idea it is to use an impact when replacing the studs, but this looks like an easy way to get it done... :notsure:
