Feeler - CV Axle Group Buy **Input Needed**

@odomandr

 

Possibly in for 1.

 

Bump this back up. I want it to happen.

 

@memario1214 thank you for doing the leg work.

 

Sooooo, my outer passenger boot just burst. Any update on this?

 

Do they have enough in stock to send out replacements first? I'm local to them, any discounts for local pickup?

I'm interested, and I actually need a spare set of CVs.

 

OK, I'm seriously interested.

 

If needed, I can send my cores first. I have a replacement OEM set from a salvage yard I have sitting around.

 

This is the quote with options I was given this week (shipping to NJ):

We can build a set of CVJ Remanufactured CV Axles with two days notice (we have all the parts but don't have any on the shelf). CVJ part number 9808.
These axles are complete with neoprene boots, fully assembled and are ready to install. There are some boot options bellow.
Your cost is $108.00 each plus a core deposit of $95.00 each. Plus freight (UPS ground) which is about $49.00 or less for two in the US - it varies by zip code.

The core deposit of $95.00 is refunded when you return the core. These are critical cores and should be returned within 30 days for full credit.
The core must be the same original Toyota axle. Aftermarket axles cannot be rebuilt and are poor to begin with. Link: How to ID Toyota axle

These are original manufacturer axles that have been completely Remanufactured by us using some aftermarket parts and neoprene boots.
You get OEM steel and design where it counts at a much better price than new, with CVJ reliability.

The axles have a limited lifetime warranty. When used for offroad or in lifted trucks we cannot warrant the axles.

Here are some options if you are interested.

Option 1 - Outer Boot - OEM boot for CV joint (wheel side) - $60.00 each additional. This boot gets your axles closest to OEM - longest lasting CV boot. This is an Original OEM Toyota plastic boot & clamps installed on the above axle we build for you. This boot is the longest lasting because it is made of Hytrel plastic which is tougher, more abrasion resistant and more chemical resistant than the aftermarket Neoprene boots. Being hard plastic it does not seal as well as Neoprene, which can be an issue at high angles. (Usually good up to 2 1/2" lift)
There is no warranty on these boots.

Every lift kit is different, each individual uses their truck differently, etc. So, while it is is hard to make specific recommendations here is another boot options that many Toyota truck owners have found valuable:

Option 2- Inner Boot Higher Angle (diff side) - $47.95 each additional. These boots are for the Inner joints and are installed on axles we build for you. (It takes two days)
Many offroaders prefer these for higher angles saying they last longer.
Each lift kit is different. These can help if your inner boots are rubbing on themselves or have longer travel.With the red boot there are a lot more convolutions (ribs) so they can be stretched out so they don't rub or don't rub as much. Also the silicone handles abrasion better than neoprene.These won't be much help with severe angles.{We have heard of a couple reports of suspension combinations that do not provide adequate clearance for this boot}. As a rule of thumb you will need an extra inch of clearance from the existing boot (radially & along the shaft). Please check the clearance before ordering. There is no warranty on these boots.

While these boots will help with most lifts, they are not silver bullets and cannot be expected to last as long as a stock truck.

We accept Visa and MasterCard.
Thanks for your inquiry, I hope we can be of service to you.
Why CVJ remanufactured?
Original Toyota are much stronger and better designed than Asian aftermarket (auto parts store, some dealerships), but they are expensive.
CVJ properly and completely remanufactures only Original Toyota axle cores. OEM steel and design where it counts, with CVJ reliability at a much better price. CVJ Axles - OEM strength & design + CVJattention to detail - CVJ Steering Racks

Are the prices you quoted the GB prices? The reason I ask is bc I've in contact with CVJ about some axles and the aforementioned prices are different than what I was quoted. the same prices I I was quoted $99/axle along with a $47 shipping charge and $42.95 for the red inner boot...maybe they increased their prices over the past year.

 

I just picked two up and it's about $150 with the red boot.

 

Just bought one last month. I had a pair on my 1st gen as well. Great customer service.
