DO NOT buy any remanufactured cv axles. I had 2 remanufactured axles break in a row, and they shouldn't have broken (wasn't abusing it). Sure, you get a new one for free, but it still takes $250 in labor to replace it because you have to drop the diff to get it out.


If we are still talking about cv shaft assembles, no you don't have to drop the diff to change them <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />.


If you have the Haynes and or the Chiltons, Use them for trouble shooting and nothing else.... You do not have to drop the Differential. I replaced both CV, Both NAPA Remans, with out a problem and I wheel every weekend if I can, had them about 6 months. Sure they break, depends on what they can or cannot hold up to, They have to meet Spec before they can be boxed up and shipped out. Usually the boot goes, and no one catches it, them they break from being rusted, dirt, water, ect. Both of my CV's took a good while as I replaced Ball Joints, and Bearings w/ seals and a good Grease Pack. My whole front end is new. Except the Aisin Hubs From Matt at Indy. But they dont count. Good snap Ring Pliers are recommended. One's from AutoZone and checker's are not bad but there are better one's.
