Dealership OEM Reman CV Axles?

Hello all, I'm about to have my mechanic install new hubs and cv axles up front and I stopped by my local dealership to pick up the axle seals and some other odds and ends. I figured I'd ask what the price of new OEM cv axles were through them and no surprise they were 400 a piece but the lady at parts said Toyota offers an remanufactured axle that an original OEM axle for 147 a piece. I ordered two of them and am excited yet nervous as too how good they will be. Anybody have any experiences with OEM reman'd cv axles? I just want them to last a decent while. Thanks!

Wow, I'd like to know about these too. I was getting ready to service mine with bad boots. Boot kits alone are $50 each.

 

Do happen to know the part #?
That is a good price. I’ve seen OE Reman axle for 1st Gen close to that price. But never for a 2nd Gen.

 

They are normally just re booted and reassembled with fresh grease. That said they are still likely a better bet than most aftermarket offerings.

 

Any reman part from a dealership is usually going to be a good quality product. They have a certain level of quality to uphold, they can't be messing around with comebacks from failing parts.

 

Here's some pictures of the box and cv axles. They look pretty good besides I wish the outer boot wasn't rubber but thermoplastic. We'll just have to see how they hold up.

Part # and genuine Toyota box...

 

Boots are marked KOK
Inner boots have the part number- BT-804
Outer boots have the part number- BT-924

 

Of course this too.....

 

Thanks for the info. Hope they sell some for the 1st gen.

 

They do.

 

If Toyota is standing behind them, that’s a great savings and you’re good to go. Great find.

 

400$+ brand new. Nothing wrong with a remanufactured one from yota. If it fails you have a warranty. I just bought one for 150-180$ I forget remaned. I wouldnt be nervous.

 

$182 for 1st gen. Your right dealer sells them but out of stock

 

I just ordered two new boot kits for about 36 each. OEM

 

I had factory remaned joints put on when they did my frame. 145.00 per. 30K down the road, all smiles.

 

That's reassuring. Do you have a lift installed by chance?

 

And no core charge, I assume?
