The problem with napa is They do not ship outside the US trying to find best solution

They seem nice enough to try. On some cheaper replacement CVs, it seems like to boots get cracked and torn pretty quickly.
These list a "tough" thermo plastic boot that should be good.
I would try these if/when my current CVs wear out or the boots tear.

Just want to share my experience with trakmotive cv-axle. I’ve been running one for over a year now and i can say they are not worth the money. The boot is made of hard plastic like material that cracks. I installed napa remanufactured cv-axle on driver side and trakmotive on passenger at the same time, napa is holding up much better with no issues, where trakmotive boot is starting to crack. So i would listen to oldtimers here and stick with napa remanufactured cv-axles.

These TrakMotive CVs are sold by NAPA for $250.00 each. Rock Auto has them for $125.00. I went with the NAPA way thinking about how easy it will be to get the lifetime warranty. I have re-turned under warranty 3 sets of the NAPA extended travel CVs due to the outer boots failing. The boots can not handle the suspension lift and turning of the wheel at the same time. It puts a dipple in the outer part of the boot. Once this happens, it's only a matter of time before a hole opens up in the boot.

So, I ordered the Rock Auto TrakMotive extended CVs X2 for $250.00 and returned the NAPA CVs and was reimbursed $500.00. Once I received the ones from Rock Auto I cut the original outer boot off the brand new CVs and replaced them with the Flexx boot you can buy off Amazon for $24.00. I bought the one that comes with the installation cone. I installed the boot exactly like the you-tube on Amazon video showed me. The Pleage furniture polish worked great. The boot seems to be of good quality. Time will tell.

No more problems with CV boots.

Did you use small shaft or large shaft boot?

I use Bailcast silicone boots on everything I work on, don't know if you can get them in the US?

I used the large boot.
