Best CV Axles???
 
Who makes the best CV Axles?

Also do I have 23 or 26 Spline Outboard Joint?
I have a 91 Civic Hatchback 1.5 DX 5 speed

I found these 3 brands at my local auto parts stores.
Both are New Axles Lifetime Warranty


Monument Car Parts

DriveTech America

or

Kragen and Auto Zone

Cardone
http://www.cardone.com/English/Club/...Drivetrain.asp

or

PepBoys

PB/FENCO/FENWICK AUTOMOTIVE
http://www.fencoparts.com/index2.htm

Raxles
online only?
http://www.raxles.com/default.aspx

Any recomendations?

I need to buy them localy.

Thanks

Take your old ones in and have the worker match them up. It's not rocket science. Especially if you need them locally.

Must be rocket science since you didnt answer either part of the question.

Did you evan read the post?

Looking for who makes the best CV Axles and how many splines I have on mine.

You trust some kid behind the counter to match it up for you?

If you have no clue, don't answer the post.

Id say autozone since they give u the lifetime warranty with it.

Re: Best CV Axles???
 
So I guess DX and SI are 26 Spline Outboard Joint, that goes into the hub.

and

Standard is 23 Spline Outboard Joint

I've always just had oem axles rebuilt. They handle a lot of abuse. Autozone axles are complete shit, at least from my experience with them.

i know which axles i have on mine, you idot. you are the one who said they didnt know which ones were on your car. and you also said:
"I need to buy them localy."
this should be your first clue, to take it to a local auto parts store. and by taking in your old ones, there are after all core charges, you can physically match yours up to make sure you will not have any problems when you get back to your car.

i work for an auto parts store, and i have seen countless idot customers come in and ask for parts for their cars, but then they come back saying "you sold me the wrong part" or "it doesnt fit right." when you dont know all the right info about your car, you are most likely going to get the wrong part.

that is why i said "take in your axles to the store." freaking idiot. and i bought mine from kragen. i didnt see the need to have to pay an arm and a leg for raxles or any "specialty" swap axles for my LSV. and i prefer to be able to warranty my axles out, even though i havent busted them since i first installed them years ago, the same day and not have to wait for the an online vendor to ship me new ones and me have to pay to have the old ones shipped to them.

The once or twice that I've used non-Honda reman axles, simply because I was broke, at the time, I've regretted it.
I haven't used anything other than the Honda remans over the past 10 years or so. And I've had no problems, whatsoever. Which I can't say about the aftermarket ones I've tried. Yeah they may cost twice as much as the aftermarket remans, but IME, they're good for at least 60K-80K miles, if not more, with no fitment, noise or vibration issues at all.

Raxles FTW. You can buy/replace reman. axles every 3 months or buy good quality new ones (like Raxles) and not think about it again for 5 years. Its up to you.

My Raxles axles are flawless and customer service is great.
For my J1 tranny, he uses the 88 teg inner joints and 90-93 teg outer joints to make it all fit perfectly.

I am the Idiot?

You couldn't evan answer a simple 2 part question. Now I see why you work at a Auto part store.

Why would I care that you know what axles you have on you car?

I Want to buy them at a local auto part store in case i need to exchange them out.

Both of your post have added no answers or information.

If you don't have the answers why add your foolishness?
Just makes yourself look ignorant.

Re: Best CV Axles???
 
I like Raxles, and they are New.
None of my local Auto Part stores carry them.

Honda wanted $183 per axle New.

So I think I am going to go with New Cardone Selects, with lifetime warranty.

I've used Cardone A-1, new mfgs axels, on our PT Cruiser and my EF. The PT Cruiser aftermarket and factory assemblies have bad balance. From using these new ones, they are perfect, new machined shafts and eveything else...

wheelgarage 07-16-2010 02:32 PM

Re: Best CV Axles???
 
Yeah...to reiterate.

23 spline for CRX HF and Civic STD
26 spline for all others....

I work at an auto store to help people like you get the right stuff.

I answered your question so STFU, I told you how to what to do to make sure you get the right parts.

the guy is asking which one is better? not tryin to be a dick, so please dont take it that way.

if you have a cut rate auto parts store near you do NOT buy an axle from them. they suck. i am about to have to replace mine again, this will be the third time:hammer:

Re: Best CV Axles???
 
yeah I am on my 2nd pair of autozone axles. they dont last long but they are free! I am going to get some Raxles when I finish college.

i know he is asking which ones are better, but he also said he wants to buy them locally. thats why i told him only ones he will get locally are at an auto parts store (including kragen, autozone etc...). i gave my opinion, i dont see the sense in paying $300 for a pair of axles that are rated at 3-500hp when his car will probably never reach that power. thats why i also said to take in the old ones and have the worker make sure they match up so he doesn't have to do the work twice.
