Return them. You order a new product, you should expect a new product.

Also, If you have an autozone in the area, get the duralast remanufactured CV joints. They're basically stock Toyota joints that have had their boots and joints replaced, and also come with a lifetime warranty, no questions asked. Even if the boot tears, they warranty it.

They are duralast I emailed autozone waiting for a response. It sucks cause they had to be special ordered and took 2 weeks to get.

Autozone has multiple CV axles for the 4runners from multiple sources. Find the Cardone remanufactured part number and tell them to order you those.

I just did this, it is a pretty good product.

What did the boxes look like??

When I got mine the cv axles were blocked and supported in the card board box so someone would really need to work at damaging them.

That'll probably be the route I take if they say it'll take another couple weeks

They were shipped in just the factory duralast boxes I was surprised to see two axle boxes sitting at my front door

They had to be ordered? usually every autozone carries these, as they're a very demandable product.

I ordered a couple axles that came dented like that. I straightened them out a bit and ran them without problems. I don't think that flange makes any type of seal. (Correct me if I'm wrong)

I think you've got to weigh the hassle of returning and getting new axles versus having a cosmetic blemish in an area you can't see once they're installed.

I'd just order another set and pick them up so you don't have the same problem. When I ordered mine they came boxed inside another box. Better safe than sorry.
