    So I need to replace both cv axles on my truck and I was wondering if there are any brands better then others or anything like that. Any advice would be awesome. Thanks

    Do you wheel hard-ish?

    Lift?

    It's not a mall crawler that's for sure. But it's got a 3"lift with a diff drop so the cv's are pretty straight. But yeah I wheel it pretty hard when I get out

    Well really depends how much your trying to spend.

    The napa/autozone route is obviously the cheapest but doesn't mean the best, you will be snapping these a lot BUT they do have a lifetime warranty and are relatively cheap, just sucks they always snap.

    Oem Toyota is probably one of the best options but is more expensive.

    Cvj , a company that remanufactures real Toyota cvs with a bigger boot so you won't get fin rubbing and are very reputable on tw.

    Hope it helps :hattip:

    I've heard it's best to stick with OEM when it comes to CVs

    It's garbage. Call them. They are honestly quite knowledgeable and helpful.

    It's been so long I can't remember now and I don't want to give a trashy guess. I know they price different based on whether or not you send your cores back in.
