    Anyone ever use Cardone CV Axel's for the Taco's? RockAuto lists the Cardone as heavy duty and am wondering what the life span of one of those would be. Seems like the parts off RockAuto can be hit and miss as far as quality

    Bought one while in a pinch. Kept my factory one to rebuild. I still have the rock auto HD cv axle in and done tons of wheeling with it. No issues here it’s been 2 years

    $72.79 for the Cardone HD on RockAuto. Thank you for the info, I might go with the Cardone and also have the factory ones rebuilt for spares

    I have Cardone's on my GX. The axle itself is decent, I'm lifted and have put close to 25k on mine without a breakage. However the boots have been torn for the last 5-7k miles.

    Saving up for RCV's. Until then the torn boots will ride. There not slinging grease or clicking at the moment.
