bluecalais79 Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Does anyone know who is selling/making high quality and/or the best CV axles, my 1994 Cutlass may need to have these replaced. There's a few left side GM NOS ones available but I'm not seeing anything for the right side. I'm hoping to stick with GM but if there's something aftermarket out there that is decent quality, I'm all for that. thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted May 6, 2020 Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 CVs are really hit or miss now. Do yours need to be replaced because the boot is ripped or are they clicking or something? I'd go to the junkyard and get an OEM one and boot it/get it rebooted and run that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55trucker Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Personally when it comes to purchasing a *fresh* replacement I've always leaned towards a Cardone reman item rather than an offshore brand new piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalais79 Posted May 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 Thanks, Cardone does sound good. I'm going to go with a freshly refurbished set of 5 spokes and the Cooper CS5 Ultra tires and then see if I still have vibration issues. The Tiger Paws will be relegated to winter storage duty.

Schurkey Posted May 8, 2020 Report Share Posted May 8, 2020 What's wrong with your CV shafts 'n' joints? Not that hard to rebuild them although it's gone out-of-style. I'm a big fan of buying "good used" parts rather than "brand-new Communist Crap". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecalais79 Posted May 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Good point on the used stuff. I've since decided to lower the bar on what I'm going to do with the car. I'm down to just getting the a/c fixed, refurbished wheels & tires and then getting the paint issue on the drivers side done and that will be about it. Until if & when I can get my nephew to take this car, I'm going to use it on my to-work commute. My white 1996 CS will be the go to car for long trips as that car is as solid a ride as they come at any speed. Not only that but I can squeeze over 30 mpg pure highway with the white one.
