Heavy Duty cv's
Is there such a thing?
|
Yes, they are called newfields I believe.
Sorry. thats all I can remember right now, hopefully some can post a link to them. |
NO!!!!!!
they are all the same....... just ask my brother who replaced his with advanced auto free lifetime replacement warranty |
So my front inner boots have become separated...should I pull them...ckean em and regrease then replace with another boot?
|
if all the grease fell out then its best to replace it, as you dont know how long it was dry, if its not bad, you can just put more grease and put on a univeral boot kit... however, its basically the same amount of work as jsut replacing the whole thing to put on a new boot
|
thats what i was thinking jim...might as well have the things new and i have to tear into the drivers side spindle to replace that inner bushing that is making alot of racket going over small bumps when i'm going slow....
|
you would think it would be possible to make boots that would be close to impervious to ripping...why is this so difficult?
arent their materials out there that would work? edit: I assume we are talking about the boots here and not the axles! |
the boots i saw are junk...the inner ones have a thin seal to them and look like they just twist together with 2 ears on them.
|
It really isn't too much more to replace them compared to rebooting them. I'd replace them just to be on the safe side. As opposed to rebooting them and then realize they need to be replaced.
I think I remember something about heavy duty cvs in the thread with the TLT long-travel runner. The used porsche parts I think and ran 500-1000. Can't remember the details for sure though. |
I never understood why people say it costs almost the same to put in a new CV as opposed to a new boot. I can get the toyota boot kit for about $25. Last I heard a CV from an autoparts store is about $70.
|
Porsche cv's are awesome and far superior. I would liek to run them one day. About 1,00 a pair. They fit on your stock axles.
They have six balls instead of 3. |
The boots that come on reman axles are junk. I busted both inner boots the first time out with them. I run OEM boots now and have had no problems.

TOYOTA TRUCK, I.F.S. TRUCKS & TACOMA One of our newer products is the heavy duty joint for Tacoma and I.F.S. trucks. We have designed it stronger than O.E. by using some of the same design processes we use for the Land Cruiser. The Tacoma and I.F.S. trucks come from the factory with two complete CV axles. We can only supply a new heavy duty outer joint attached to a rebuilt CV axle. We rebuild the CV axle with boots that are superior to the O. E. boots. The wear problem after a lift kit has been installed will be greatly reduced due to these aftermarket boots. The heavy-duty joint will fit trucks with auto or manual locking hubs. I was breaking the stock ones pretty regularly with the front locker and 35's, but once I put those on, I didn't break anymore until I did the axle swap :) |

Not that the price is bad, but for an extra 400.00, I might as well keep saving for the Porche CV's
Always good to have another option. Thanks alot! |
No problem. I had intended to run the Porche CV's since I had good experiences with them in my Baja Bug, but I was unable to find anyone making them for the Tacoma. The CVU's were the next best thing and seemed to do the job, so I was happy with them. When I did the swap, I was able to sell them and recoup some of the cost, so that made them an even better deal :)
|
an interesting idea would be to make some "CV rings" similar to the birfield rings made for suzuki samurai's. its an extra cromo ring that is pressed on to the outside keeping it from exploding under stress. all you would need to do is use a larger boot.
FWIW, it wont help with the stub shaft snapping off, which i have done, but it will help in the outer CV dept. the best option IMO, is to machine out the spindle and run some longfields (27 spline version) and then run solid axle lockouts. |
