Cardone 66-5265 New CV Axle

This fit my 2008 Toyota solara perfect. My son had no trouble changing this out. And now my car is driving so much better. I am pleased with this purchase.

Exact fit, at an excellent price!

Works well, installed easy, and some time later is still functioning as designed. Really good value for the money, and seems to be made pretty well. This took care of the wobbling under acceleration and the crunchy noises while turning sharp.

I installed this axle and within several months, the outer boot was already torn. I live in socal so it doesn't rain much. Now the boot is completely cut down the middle. I could tell from when I first noticed that the rubber was simply bad. Ironically, the boots on the other side that are at least ten years old are like new. Cardone offers a life warranty but through where you purchase...not direct. Amazon doesn't have a way that I can see to get a warranty replacement. Only a return which is only good for 30 days. The axle itself is fine.

The dust cap is bent. I have to spend extra time to repair the cap before installation. So far, I put 1000 miles on my 2009 ES350 after replacing its passager side CV axle. I want to write something good about it, but driving 1000 miles doesn't tell anything. Here are the facts. It seems to have a very good built quality. It's very quiet at 100 mph. It doesn't have a noticeable play when it's new. It holds instant torque. Since parts are cheap on these Camrys and ES, I don't mind replacing these parts of drive train every 2 years if they don't last very long. 7000 miles update: Recently, I did a drive train inspection. It has some surface rust, but there's no play. Boots are fresh like new. It's a good product. 15,000 miles update: No issue has been found. It probably will last for a while. 30,000 miles update: It's still holding on.
