Autozone CV Axle

What do you guys think about the cv axles from autozone for 69.99? Do they hold up? They have a lifetime waranty but who knows what that is good for. For the price I couldn't pass it up though. Doe anyoone have any experience with these?

I have one and have swapped it out twice, both for torn boots. The first one I tore the boot installing it and took it back no problem. I haven't had any problem taking them back.

At one point I was thinking about getting them. But then my mechanic told me they were no good. I never got them though or any new axles cause my 4Runner was totaled, but I would still go with the autozone cv axle based on the price.

I don't think the boots are as good, plus I carry a whole spare when I wheel.

Well, I got it on this morning, it seems pretty solid to me. I don't really go wheeling much and this is my DD on 31's so I think it should last.

I've been thinking about getting Autozone axles. It seems like it would be worth it for the price. Although, I fully expect to be using the lifetime warranty. All of the rebuilt axles that I've seen just don't hold up for very long.

When I owned a Subaru, my CVs went bad. At the time, NAPA was the cheapest so I bought them from there. The pain was that every six months I needed to use the lifetime warranty on one side or the other. But, I did get damn good at changing them.

I use them, no problems. The ones I've gotten recently in the Duralast box seem better (better boots) than the first one I got which was a Cardone. If anything looks remotely funky, I replace them, and have never had an issue with getting them warranteed.

I also bought a spare to carry on the trail.

I have no lift and manual hubs, though, so I'm generally pretty easy on CV's.
