Cardone 66-5126 New CV Axle

Working great after 4,000miles...it was quite a B*#CH to remove the old ones (I replaced both half shafts). The inner cv joints had failed but weren't slinging oil, it was causing the worst vibration and horrible metal grinding noise only while first driving off when car was cold. More like a loud fast knocking clicking noise that sounds worse the faster you go...after 8 seconds it would be gone though and never reappear until the car was cold again. Eventually tho it got so bad it would start to make grinding noises all the time, pep boys mechanics were 99% sure it was my transmission/transfer case gears that were bad and I'd need a WHOLE NEW TRANNY!! So I did my own research and bought these praying they were the culprit and voila! Other side effect was because they had been bad for about 6months causing vibrations, the wheel bearing also got destroyed and had to replace those too to get rid of all vibration (between 65-75mph), another tough job with only hand tools. I'm an experienced DIY mechanic and this was tough, not the disassembly of wheel hub, thats easy, but getting the drivers side axle out took about 4 hours, 5 different crow bars, 3 hammers, a new 5lb dead blow hammer from harbor freight, and whole freaking lot of strength. Was worried I was going to have to take it into a shop. But the corolla drives like new now after an alignment.

Fit great on 98 chevy prizm, first one came torn so had to have replacement sent. I ride hard and fast 100 miles a day and it’s held up so far. My mechanic recommends this brand

perfect fit

band clamps seamed very cheap, i would recommend taking them apart, cleaning out all the grease and re grease them with Red Line 80401 CV-2 Synthetic Grease so they will last longer. using higher quality band clamps would be a good idea too. thats what i did, overall good product.

So first few days it was good but after it started to make noise I am going to check it out when I have a chance sound like it’s Metal on metal rubbing almost like my window is down the air is blowing hard idk kind of hard to describe

good quality. Fast shipping

Arrived when they said it would arrive and easy install no big problem and the right parts thanks

perfect fit. good product
