Napa Extended Travel CV

Anyone have experience with Napa’s extended travel cv axles. Part # NCV 941733. Took my axles out to find they sent me the wrong reboot kit. Going to keep my axles but can’t wait for the shipping for new boots rn. They look beefy, have lifetime warranty and will go well with my 2.5” lift. Have them on order just curious what those who have em think

 

Plenty of threads on this.

 

Saw your run down on them when I searched it up. With the boots tearing did the warranty cover that?

 

Yes sir! Just keep a spare on hand, preferably the ones you are currently running.

They did allow quite a bit of articulation, if you have the shocks to allow such travel.

 

what’s the warranty process like. Id imagine it varies from store. But just show the old ones and swap em when they are in stock?

 

Yep, or they'll have to order them for ya for replacement

I didn't have to pay shipping but someone on another thread said they did

 

What size is the axle nut? Is it the same as the oem 35mm?

 

The threaded shaft is the same as OEM, but the nut itself used was 41mm for mine.

Still got the socket for it and have never used it for anything else other than those cv axles.

 

If the thread is the same. Could use the original nut, I'd assume.

 

You could yeah but the 'collar' was either fucked in my own rig when I yanked them out or something was up with tightening the nut and getting a cotter pin to not sit loosely when inserted

Been awhile since I owned that 4R, but I remember just using the nuts and collars provided with the CV axles

 

Think I should order a 41mm socket? Or just use the oem. Took everything off very cleanly

 

Just use the oem stuff if you can, but again there must've been a reason why I didn't use my own oem parts

 

The OEM Lock washer has many different positions. Just rotate until you can insert the cotter pin.

Most important is to torque the axle nut to spec. This ensures the wheel bearing is preloaded correctly. 174 ft pounds. Same torque spec for 3rd gen 4runner, 1st gen Tacoma, 2nd gen Tacoma, 3rd gen Tacoma, etc.

 

Alright, as long as the threads are the same I’ll stick with the 35mm that’s on there

 

Then it was a mangled collar or too much shaft exposed...aware of everything else mentioned
