Cardone Select 66-5265 New CV Constant Velocity Drive Axle Shaft

My car started to shake after going 40mph only when accelerating,Iam a diy-er when it comes to cars for not too hard jobs so I did the process of elimination, tires were balanced, alignment done, rims were not bent , so i figured it was either the driver side or passenger side axle that went bad, I decided to do both since my car has over 150k , the driver side was a breeze to replace but the passenger side took me over an hour since it really got stuck in the bracket, I tried grease, heat up with a torch and barely move, I didn’t have a cutter so I had to take the bracket off , only 3 bolts, once out I was able to take it off the bracket, so yes also taking the bracket with the axle works , it’s just an extra step only when it’s really seized and welded because of rust. I have now driven it for over 2 weeks and that annoying shake is gone , also I would recommend replacing the inner and outer tie rods ,brakes, rotors and calipers since you are working on the suspension already if needed of course. Overall , so far so good

Works well, installed easy, and some time later is still functioning as designed. Really good value for the money, and seems to be made pretty well. This took care of the wobbling under acceleration and the crunchy noises while turning sharp.

This fit my wife's 2008 Avalon and went on without too much difficulty (thank you Youtube). Quality seemed to be fine. Price was surprisingly low. So many things are so expensive now! I do not know for certain if this item was new or rebuilt.

The dust cap is bent. I have to spend extra time to repair the cap before installation. So far, I put 1000 miles on my 2009 ES350 after replacing its passager side CV axle. I want to write something good about it, but driving 1000 miles doesn't tell anything. Here are the facts. It seems to have a very good built quality. It's very quiet at 100 mph. It doesn't have a noticeable play when it's new. It holds instant torque. Since parts are cheap on these Camrys and ES, I don't mind replacing these parts of drive train every 2 years if they don't last very long. 7000 miles update: Recently, I did a drive train inspection. It has some surface rust, but there's no play. Boots are fresh like new. It's a good product. 15,000 miles update: No issue has been found. It probably will last for a while. 30,000 miles update: It's still holding on.

I installed this axle and within several months, the outer boot was already torn. I live in socal so it doesn't rain much. Now the boot is completely cut down the middle. I could tell from when I first noticed that the rubber was simply bad. Ironically, the boots on the other side that are at least ten years old are like new. Cardone offers a life warranty but through where you purchase...not direct. Amazon doesn't have a way that I can see to get a warranty replacement. Only a return which is only good for 30 days. The axle itself is fine.
