The Problem with Cheap CV Axles

Описание к видео The Problem with Cheap CV Axles

In this Steve's Garage video I cover the potential issues with using inexpensive aftermarket CV axles vs high quality aftermarket or OEM axles.

Cheap CV axles can have a variety of problems, from cheap materials that don't last long, or poor tolerances like the one in the video. Many people report inexpensive CV axles not lasting long, or having issues straight out of the box. When comparing cheap CV axles to OEM CV Axles, many people see a vast difference. In many cases the extra money spent on an OEM CV Axle is worth it for the knowledge it won't fail prematurely. In this video, the CV axles had issues from the moment I unboxed and installed them on the car. With zero miles on the CV axles, they were giving me a weird vibration when driving down the road.

For some, the cost savings of an aftermarket CV axles compared to an OEM CV axle is worth it. For me, the cheap CV axles aren't worth the money. I don't want to constantly replace CV axles, and I want my steering wheel to be vibration free when I drive. I want CV axles to be a one and done job.

In addition to this CV axle comparison video, I have a video about diagnosing a worn CV axle, and rebuilding a CV axle if you decide to go that route. Leave any questions you may have, thanks for watching!
