When buying CV axles for a daily driver (mine being a '97) what should be considered when making a choice? I dont seem to find any discerning info on which brand is better aside from Raxle so I assume it may not make a big difference. My logic is that a rebuilt CV axle might be better than a new aftermarket as its not difficult to install new parts and the factory frame quality is likely better.
Is it known if Honda makes their own or what company make them for Honda? I understand that factory axles would be best but theyre more than double the cost of rebuilts or new aftermarket ones.
Roughly how long should a Raxle, aftermarket and rebuilt CV axle last, comparatively? It seems Id have to call Raxle for an estimate cost as I didnt find 3rd-party sellers.
All helpful information will be appreciated since I didnt seem to find a thread elsewhere that answers these questions collectively.
Here's a seemingly good link about how to repair your own...
