Hello, I need to replace the cv axle on both sides. I'm thinking of buying a replacement at Autozone, have any of you used these parts? Do you have any other suggestions regarding brands?

If you can wait for shipping, Rock Auto has been my online go to.

Thanks, I can definitely wait. However, my interest is to know if there is any brand or manufacturer that they recommend and that has acceptable quality when demanding off road.
Honestly, my CVs don't last more than a year, what about you?

Seconding napa (new though, NOT remanufactured), I beat the heck out of mine in the rocky desert and no issues. 5 years going strong with the lift and everything.
My opinion of remanufactured parts has slid in recent years so I try to avoid them at all costs, they just don't remanufacture like they use to and I dont have the time to ride the lifetime warranty merry-go-round.

how much time you have the Cardone? how much lift you have?
did you travel offroad?
thanks
11 years so far. About 3" lift. Cradle is dropped 3/4" to help angles a little.
The occasional forestry or radio-tower road. Nothing serious.

I have had good service and pricing from Detroit Axle. Have purchased a 6 piece Wheel Hubs Bearings and Inner/Outer Tie Rods Suspension Kit. 10 year warranty on parts. Have not needed to replace the CV Axles yet on 05 CRD Limited.
I'm not convinced there is much to go wrong with CV axles in normal service. The exceptions would be really hard use, over-angulation, or torn boots (leading to loss of lube and outside contamination).
Wheel bearings have been quite a difference for me. One budget brand was shot within 2 years. Timkens are going on 9yrs. Still original tie-rods, incredibly.

FWIW… I had good luck with Detroit Axle as well.
