My car is a 2005 Pontiac Vibe AWD w/ 165k miles. I'm not sure what to believe! Can somebody shed some light on this and help make the choice a bit easier for me? Some have suggested the new ones (chinese manufactured) are crap, whereas the remanufactured ones are rebuilt with OEM parts. Does anybody have any compelling reason to go with one brand versus another? Are they all the same? Some people have suggested they are all rebranded Cardone CV axles. There is a lot of conflicting information out there - some people swear aftermarkets are trash, others say they have no problems. Tie rods and ball joints all seem be in good shape and don't have any play in them, so I want to go ahead and replace both of my front CV axles.ĭoes anybody know much about CV axles from Autozone (Duralast), NAPA (Max Drive), or Advance Auto (Carquest)? OEMs are too expensive for me (over $400 each) so I want to go with an aftermarket (about $80-100 each). No clicking/clunking when turning though. The other side has some minor amount of play in it, but not nearly as bad. This axle has a decent amount of play in it and I can move it around quite a bit in all directions. However, upon inspection one of the front CV axle is leaking from the internal boot. I have brand new tires and the alignment is good, and the brakes/rotors are all good. It doesn't happen all the time, and it comes and goes. I'm having some intermittent vibrations in the car when I accelerate above 60 mph.
