    So I've been having an issue w my passenger side cv axle (vatozone) lately. Went to cleghorn last week and the inner broke. I thought it was normal because I was doing an obstacle. I changed it out a few days later. I test it out the first time and smooth like butter. 1 min later after making a left turn, I try it again and bam grinds and pops out. My only guess is, axles are shorter than OEM, I got two malfunctioned cvs..... or i have a problem with my passenger side differential.

    I just bought an OEM cv axle that is coming tomorrow to compare the size of the new replacement I have. My driver side is also a vatozone cv axle and no problems so far. Put them both in a year ago.

    Well the Vatozone CV axle is half an inch smaller than the OEM and a lot thinner. Pic below is a comparison. The left side is lined up perfectly.
