CV axle

Post by Ruffles »

Just wanted to get some opinions on what CV axle has worked the best. Here are some sites i can get a pair of CV axles from, let me know what you guys think and your experiences with the ones you've bought. If the o'reilly site ask for info, mines a manual and it doesn't matter if you choose passenger or driver side.

if your cars stock id suggest just getting whatevers cheapest with the best warranty. napa supposedly has re-manufactured cv axels with lifetime warranties.

or you can get these for $60 a side with 12 month warranty.

Ild recomend global or emperial. Avoid remans if at all possible, I had three bad cardones in a row when I had to change out my passanger so I gave up and ordered a brand new one for the extra money.

Yeah i read to stay away from the remans. Are there better/more durable brands that fit our cars if i look for ones for a ford escort or probe or a different kind of mazda?

Also with the warranty for cv's. Did you want limited lifetime warranties? or just lifetime warranties? (do they do that? lol)

Nope, gotta stick to MX-3. Unique track width.

Plus, we don't really snap axles as soon as we snap differentials or 3rd gear.

Lifetime if you can get it, global offers a lifetime or atleast they did when I bought mine.

Limited leaves it up to the fine print, ussually its One free replacement no matter how long ago you bought it, Or it could mean free replacement as long as the purchaser still own the vehicle of the corresponding part. All depends on the understanding of your parts provider.
