Inner boots aren’t great. First ripped in 500 miles and the second wasn’t far behind. To be fair, I’m on a 2” lift which can cause the boots to rub. Need the boot slide mod so the bellows don’t rub and break. Hoping for better luck with oem axles/better boots.FYI, cardone makes the Napa CVs, but they offer lifetime warranty and a few different versions. Amazon honored the warranty after much back and forth.

Had my mechanic install these.... both inner boots ripped in under 500 miles/under 11 months of use. Never took them offroad since install. Now I am trying to figure out cost of buying some OEM, plus reinstall cost...

I've had to replace both half shafts on my 04 Runner over the years. The first time I did it myself, the second time I bought this part and took it to my favorite mechanic and had him install it. (Having a lift in your garage makes the job a whole lot easier!). Either way the part worked perfectly and saved hundreds of dollars over a dealer installed replacement.

Cardone is supposed to be a fairly reliable product, by the sounds of the other reviews I got lucky to get a year before both inner boots blew apart! Im going back to OE, they lasted 6 years compared to barely 1 year. Save your money and go OE. The axle seemed to hold up but the boots are garbage.

The axle seems to be built well, but the boots are junk. Mine is 11 months old and both boots have failed. There is no way to contact them for warranty support that I can find. Stay away from them.

I'm very disappointed in the quality of the boots. Both inner ones ripped after just over 5000kms. I'd rather pay more and find more durable product.

These were installed on my stock 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. Within 3 months of on-road only diving both outer boots had blown. I contacted AMAZON, and to their credit, shipped an new set. My mechanic took one look at them and told me not to install them as they would fail as well. He pointed out the hardened rubber outer boots. Perhaps I got unlucky, but considering these shipments were months apart, I think it's a systemic issue with the quality. Ultimately went with OEM replacements for a bit more cost. Avoid if possible.

Installed on a 2008 Tacoma with a 3" lift. Fit great with no driveline vibration. These fit either right or left side. Guality at a reasonable price.

FUTURE REPLACEMENT PART

I replaced the pass side CV axle on my 07 FJ Cruiser with one these nearly 5 years and 50k miles ago. It's still in great shape, no issues. The boots are still fine. I need to replace the drivers side one, so I came here to order another one and thought I'd give a review of the one I bought previously. My FJ has a 3" spacer lift but I don't do much hard core off-roading. If you're into that I'd recommend the OEM Toyota CV axle but this one will probably be ok for most folks.

I will say right off that this axle is far from the quality of an OEM Toyota CV axle. If you can afford the $380 to buy a factory replacement please stop reading this review and go buy one. If you’re like me, you’re probably looking for an economical alternative to a factory axle and more than likely plan to replace it yourself. If that is your only route then I would suggest this axle out of most other aftermarket alternatives.So far I have about 3000 miles on this particular axle and it has not malfunctioned. The boots have not stressed or cracked, and the axle has not made any unusual sounds. It is not perfectly balanced, which does make it have a slight vibration/noise around 55 mph. I off-road regularly; I have a 3” lift with no diff drop and the axle has not come out during full flex and wheel lock. This axle is considered a heavy duty replacement and it does have some extra features over other axles (IE extra seal at the contact point of the wheel bearing to keep out dust/moisture, heavy duty boots, dust deflectors on both ends) which come in handy if you plan to go off-road regularly as well.If you can I would suggest to use this axle a temporary replacement and have your old factory axle rebuilt if it can be salvaged. If not I would still suggest to save for a factory replacement and use this in the meantime.Install tips: use grease on the c-clip to keep it centered when installing in to the axle housing. Also make sure to replace the seal on the spindle that keeps debris out from behind the wheel bearing if it is worn or damaged or failure may occur. A thin layer of grease can be used on the splines to prevent corrosion.
