HELP CV AXLE

where is the best place to get a factory cv axle im tired of these autoparts store crap that break and stealership is way to steap is there anyone else that sells them on the side or even a stronger cv

 

thanks ill give both a shot appreciate it

 

pick n pull type places online for some used OEM axles


maybe try online toyota dealers like toyota of dallas

 

online part store of toyota parts. why does your 2011 need new cv's already? should be covered under warranty unless its operator error.

 

autozone has lifetime warranty

 

Wheeling breaks things.

Parts-store made-in-China shit will not hold up to offroad use.

 

rcv makes a set of "unbreakable" axles for the tacoma.

those arent them, they are about 1500 but they arent listed on their website right now. but this was from a previous member something to keep in mind. Oh and they can be broken still.

 

SAS costs alot more than that

 

stop buying the CV's from Napa, VatoZone, etc etc . they are crap!!. the reason why they are always breaking on you is because they have less movement or less range of movement compared to the stock Toyota CV. so what that means is they are binding a lot sooner when compared to the stock version. and that is why they are breaking.

i know there is a huge price difference between OEM CV's and autopart CV's. but you're gonna have to pony up. only other workable alternative has been mentioned and that would be going with RCV but those will cost you a hundred million dollars compared to OEM. but the nice thing about the RCV's is that should be the last set you'll ever buy

 

I would just stick with OEM cv's

 

I know, theres no way in hell I would spend that kinda money on a cv so it would be "unbreakable"

 

Exactly why you use your lifetime warranty.


And I would rather a shaft go than my diff or t case.

 

Overpriced and under-tough. I know of at least one person that broke one and went back to OEM.

Theoretically. I'd stay with OEM myself.

Doesn't do you one bit of good on the trail, and ruins your day making you get down in the muck to swap a CV axle.

Lemme clarify: You could easily break 4 CVs in a single day of wheeling the way these pieces of shit give up the ghost.

It will, well before the diff or t-case. Especially the t-case. The transfer cases on these Tacomas are essentially the strongest Toyota has ever made.

 

Think they are stronger than the gear driven ones?

 

Thats true you ADD guys are fucked if anything breaks...

 

whys that? just as fast to change a cv.

ive been wheeling 3 times now, have yet to break a cv!

 

Because you are forced to change it, manual hubs can just unlock.
