    Hello,

    I'm going to be changing my cv axles tomorrow...

    I was going to go with the driveworks cv axle from advance auto because of the coupon codes they offer..

    Last time I did axles I got duralast from Autozone and they worked fine for me.

    Has anyone had experience with the driveworks cv axle? I heard complaints about the boot being too small. I would think it would be fine. I'm sure some of you have had experience with them.. are they decent enough??

    Yea I actually had a huge problem with them recently. The ones they varied didn't last 2200 miles. I got it for the coupon code to. Returned it and got the oreilly ones and have not had a problem yet

    almost everything napa sells costs a bit more, but their parts always seem to be better then the rest out there.
