    I have a 09 taco, and don't want to run to Autozone and buy something that won't last.
    Any opinions? Thx

    don't they come with a lifetime warranty? i would stick with OEM if you don't have faith in aftermarket.

    OEM if you can afford it. CVJ axles for better than Vatozone or PepBoys quality but not the OEM price.

    So far I’ve broken both original OEM CV axles and replaced them with Car Quest and now broke both of them, replaced first Car Quest cv axle with another car quest brand and broke that within 500 miles. I’m looking into something higher end now like these 3 in links below. I have an 08 Tacoma with 6in lift I do a lot of off-roading and I don’t drive like a maniac because it’s my only daily driver as well. Investing into higher quality will save me a lot of time in the shop I hope

    NAPA HD is about the only thing I’d recommend if OE isn’t available.
