When something on your car breaks, no one WANTS to spend lots of money just to get it working again. There are always cheaper options than buying parts from the dealership. If you can find the OEM part number, you can usually find it for a bit cheaper online, but it still isn’t cheap.
The axles on my Honda started to click on me and I had them replaced with a set of cheap aftermarkets. OEM axles for my car are $1100 for the pair, which is insane. The cheap aftermarket ones go for less than $150, but you will be going through them like gasoline; they won’t last. I’ve gone through 4 cheap sets and these are still clicking on me. I still don’t want to buy OEM ones since they’re still stupidly priced and do not include a warranty, which is why I bought these new hand-built axles from RAXLES.
Coming in at HALF the price for BETTER quality axles with a LIFETIME warrnty, its a no brainer. Taken directly from their website, “We were the first company to use new CV joints exclusively on every CV axle we sell. Our goal is to become first in the nation when it comes to Original Equipment quality CV axles and joints. Not only are we a global supplier of the best CV axles in the industry, to the top dealerships, auto repair shops, auto parts stores, and racing teams, we also sell directly to the consumer. If you want the finest CV axles on the market, we invite you to find out more.”
You can also purchased ‘built’ axles which are rated for more power than stock. If your vehicle is producing more power than stock, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to get upgraded axles to reliably withstand the beating you will be giving them.
As for the install, the tools I used can be found below, and the torque specs can be found below that.

I like your trick of gently prying on the CV joint while tapping it laterally. I've always just pried all around the joint until it pops out but I will try your method next time. Your presentation and narration are great.

@paulstandaert2042 4 года назад

I have pulled the plug on remanufactured parts, including axles. Brake calipers are the only thing I will use remanufactured unless there's no other practical choice. The aftermarket new axles have treated me well over the years, but with no hot-rodding kind of use to go with them.

@mannys9130 5 лет назад

In my experience: Aftermarket axles will often have different construction, such as hollow shaft tubing and lack of rubber balance weight. They're often not balanced well and will cause vibration at high vehicle speeds. They're more prone to rust breakage since they're usually inferior metal and sometimes hollow. They usually have cheap grease and poor heat treatment of the bearing surfaces. Reman axles don't last long because of how they refurb them. The cheap way is to machine the bearing surfaces in the joints that are worn and galled up, and fit oversize bearings. The damage and the process of milling that damaged surface smooth removes the factory case hardening which is often not replaced by a second round of heat treating. If it is treated, it may not be a high quality deep hardening. The soft surface gets worn and hammered by use when it's reinstalled regardless of grease or driving style. You'll have high quality shafts and joint cups and splines, but those soft bearing surfaces and replacement bearings are not up to the task of lasting for a long time. It's deceiving! I personally try to buy low mileage, rust-free used axles from a junk yard. You'll get a factory OE axle that has not been molested, and if the car was simply rear ended or T boned, the risk of axle damage is very minimal. If you have to remove the axle ans the vehicle has over 50k miles, replace the axle shaft seal in the transaxle case as insurance.

@milanmastracci 5 лет назад

That is true with most cheaper aftermarket axles. The thing about Raxles Axles is that they don't reuse or remanufacture the old bearings and joints, they will replace with them BRAND NEW ones which makes their quality to top notch. The price does somewhat reflect it, however quality parts carry a higher price tag. So far though, they're well worth it.

@mannys9130 5 лет назад

@@milanmastracci Excellent. You get what you pay for with CV axles. Same goes for starters, alternators, calipers, and compressors. If you buy the low tier remans, they are probably DOA. It hurts to shell out for premium parts but you'll only pay for it once.

Another method is to get steel cable or non stretch rope. Tie a loop in them that fits in behind the axle yoke. Feed a length of the cable out about 3 foot past the wheel arch. Tie the outboard end to a sledgehammer or similar. Then do your best tiger woods impression and give it a little swing and boom. Out she pops.

My Raxles stayed strong for about 15 years in New York city, which is hard on everything. I guess it was around 100,000 miles. One of the boots finally ripped but I drove it for years with a ripped boot and when the Subaru died a sudden timing belt death at 240k the axles still had not started to click yet.

I had a similar issue with my wife's prius. I replaced them twice with axles from o'reilly and I kept hearing a metallic clunk at start/stop. Turns out the diameter of the spline was 1mm smaller than stock. They double checked the part number and swore they were the right ones. Replaced with OEM ($$ ouch $$) and the noise is gone.

@ChavezDIY 4 года назад

I recently bought an axle from Raxles, but I don't plan to buy from them again. Total cost with taxes and two way shipping for driver side axle was $326. Keep in mind, that if I did not have an OEM axle that looks good (not rusty) to return to them, I would have been hit with a core charge of about $75. If I didn't have my OEM axle, I would have paid about $375 for an axle. That's not the end. So four months later I'm getting this vibration and I pulled the axle from Raxles and the outer joint is binding, so that's a damaged joint. Yes, lifetime warranty, but they're going to want $60 for a replacement (I gotta pay for two way shipping). At this point if I want a good axle, my total will be $386 ($326+$60). Keep in mind, I am installing the axle myself, otherwise I'd have to pay a mechanic to swap the axles. It's been frustrating to say the least. I recently bought a good used OEM axle for my TSX on eBay for $60 and I am rebuilding it myself. Wish me luck.

@flacko001 Год назад

How did the rebuild go? Starting to look for cv axles for my tl but I'm thinking just going to the stealership

@ChavezDIY Год назад

@@flacko001 The rebuild was challenging because one of the joints of the used axle I got from ebay was binding and stuck. Luckily I had another exact same joint from an OEM axle I pulled from the salvage yard a year earlier. I bought the boot kit from the dealer and got the job done. The rebuilt axle has been good for 2+years so far. It's a lot of work to rebuild. A cheaper alternative that I am willing to try next time is an axle from Insane Shafts. They make axles for racing applications, so they should be solid to say the least. I recorded myself doing the axle rebuild but I never had the chance to make the video for youtube. It's on my list of videos to make, I should get it done around Summer this year.

I've never checked axles the way he did. Up down motion on inner joint is normal. Slam the nut home with the wheels off with an impact gun is fine. One last thing, a cracking noise coming from either side with the brake applied and giving it gentle gas usually indicates a loose axle nut. You get it on a reverse to drive typically in a parking lot maneuver.

@d.j.9961 4 года назад

One should always be ready to plug the transmission when pulling out a half shaft! Or end up with transmission fluid all over the ground! Find a bottle cap the same size as your opening! Also, With the half shaft out, That would be the perfect time to lube your inner race & also grease your output shaft! Now for those in the northeast, use a cookie wheel on a die grinder & clean up the rust or oxidation on the hub & inner part of the wheel. Good time to inspect the brakes & lube the guides! I also use my 90 degree die grinder to clean up my brake guides & etc. Always grease the axle where it pushes threw the hub & rotor to prevent it from rusting/oxidizing!

@randomcommentary6099 3 года назад

There is an advantage to new aftermarket axles that I didn't see in the top 20 comments. You will notice that there is a rubber weight on remanufactured axles, that is a dampener to make up for the axle not being balanced. With new aftermarket axles they are built as a balanced unit and don't need the dampener. That said, you have lowered your Honda, and you are putting NON-OEM stress on your CV joints. When a car is higher the CV shaft extends to a relaxed position. When your car is lowered the joint is compressed, jamming it and limiting mobility. You need shorter axles. The "high quality axle" will fail if it is the stock length. In other words expect them to last about the same as the "cheap" axles.

@AmericanThunder 2 года назад

OEM axles have the dampeners on them, and they are also built as balanced units.

@dojmike 5 лет назад

Raxles are the best. I have used four sets on various cars and never had a problem. The problem with the aftermarket axles is that they re-grind the surfaces for the balls that allow the CV joints to flex. Once they grind, they remove the heat-treated hardening of the bearing surfaces that the balls glide on. While they are still steel, they are no longer hardened steel and they will wear about 10 times faster than CV joints with hardened surfaces. Raxles only uses newly manufactured CV joints that are all new hardened steel. About the only thing you get on a Raxles axle that is not new is the axle shaft itself. These shafts are all checked for straightness and straightened if needed.

The more modern Honda and Acura's eat axles due to their power and weight. Yes a cheap aftermarket axle will work well on a Civic, Corolla, Mirage, Escort, Elantra etc but when you double or triple the horsepower output the Chinese parts are not up to the task. I believe the problem is they use the same Rzeppa joint not considering the power output of the application. Additionally aftermarket parts suppliers realize people are not keeping a used car that long and have adjusted quality accordingly.

@mannys9130 5 лет назад

Cheapest method is the two person pump and crack method. Someone applies pressure to the brake pedal, and another person opens and closes the bleeder screw in time with the 1st person. For a one man system, the cheapest option is a vacuum hand pump kit from Harbor Freight. One-way self bleeding bleeder screws also exist and may be a good option for you. They have a spring loaded check valve inside, so you loosen them up and then just pump the pedal. They let fluid out but no air back in. Afterward, you tighten them down and they are totally sealed. They take the place of the current bleeders that are there now on the car. Of course, you can use the Venturi vacuum bleeder but you need a lot of air flow for that. Even a small pancake compressor won't be enough. The Gucci be-all-end-all is the Motive power bleeder. You could build one yourself too out of a garden spray tank, a few fittings and silicone, tubing, and a brake reservoir cap. You fill it with brake fluid, pump it up to pressurize it, and then just open the bleeders. The fluid squirts out under pressure. You'll get a 100% perfect bleed every time. The vacuum bleeders have a habit of sucking air around the threads of the bleeder screw. Put some silicone grease around the nipple to seal the connection between the vac bleeder nipple and the bleeder screw.

Where can I buy these Axles at

Do you have to do a realignment after swapping the axles?

@bigsmk9168 5 лет назад

Scott Vickers only if you have to disassemble any suspension parts to get to the bolts that hold the wheel bearing assembly in place in the knuckle. Some cars require the disconnection of a lower control arm ball joint and the strut to get to those stubborn bolts that come out the back of your wheel bearing assembly. I also recommend doing this because you can knock out the axle a lot easier when there’s free play in the knuckle itself. make sure to purchase a ball joint separator and extra ball joint boots in case you tear anything. Also hand tighten your suspension before torquing to yield. Raise your suspension to the recommended driving height with your floor jack and a rubber pad. Then torque suspension parts to yield. Take the car down to the shop for a alignment and you’re good to go. Good luck

I'm getting a clicking noise on my 08 accord when I move my steering wheel back and forth, however when you start the car it goes away. Do you think this is the axles?

@jackle842000 3 года назад

Better make sure it's not tie rods or ball joints too. Any of them can cause big problems if they come loose including the CV if it gets hung on something though but the other two you're really looking for a big time accident. Be a good idea to have everything in the front including wheel bearings checked out.

It might be getting ready to break in half on drivers side where absorber is that's what my 07 did just fixed it

Hopefully someone reads this and help me out. I recently upgraded my struts In May 2023. I never had any vibrations or rubbing with my old OEM AV axels with the NEW struts in. Recently couple weeks ago I had auto shop changed out my CV axels because the driver side had tons of play like hella play like loosey-goosey type of play. Now that they are in I’m getting some type of vibration/rubbing feeling and those are aftermarket CvV has anyone had the same issue if so help a brotha out 😎✌🏽

What about the c-clips at the end of the axles? Are you not going to stick them back in? So you now have 2 old c-clips dangling inside rabdomly

@milanmastracci 5 лет назад

When you remove your old axle, the old c-clip will come with it. When you install the new axle, a new c-clip is pre-installed on it

@rronaldreagan 5 лет назад

milanmastracci so the function of the c-clip is not a safety measure to gix the axle inside the case and not allow it to disengage and get lose? (Im a greenhorn and dont know )

@stevenbauer7744 4 года назад

How long did your reman'd axles last? Is it possible that your suspension mods are stressing the axle and causing premature wear?

@skatman3872 3 года назад

I believe you are right .I replaced my drivers side for 77 doesn't have that absorber in it ,that is where mine broke and they said it collects moister there and rusts That's exactly what happened to mine.No problem now
