Need quality CV Axle Replacement options..
i am aware of ZZP's Stage 2 ones, but i was thinking a good OEM replacement (much cheaper option) dealership parts section is closed today so i can't price out a GM CV Axle... any suggestions? i know that advanced and autozones CV axle options are crap. so no good there
I've have one Napa and one Carquest axle and they've been holding up good. Whatever you do just don't go reman, shtty quality no matter the part.

$92 Driver $92 Passenger Cardone NAPA Brand. Brand new CV Axle shafts
WBS LCA's would of been a cheaper option, GR2's would of been a cheaper option, worked over L67 heads would of been a cheaper option, a worked over rebuilt trans would of been an cheaper option - so now all the sudden money is a concern and you want a cheaper axle option.. It's amazing the things you have no concern over how much money you spend on, and other things you decide to skimp out on.Quote:

My buddy HK's 600whp turbo regal destroyed ZZP's "stage two" axles on the sixth or seventh pass at the drag strip.
New OEM style are the best option. Napa doesn't know how much torque will be traveling through them, so use that warranty.

Yeah, my friend Derick ripped one of my boots while installing the LCA while i was working on the Rear strut and trailing arms so i need a new CV Axle boot figured i would replace the hole thing while im at it. and since the engine and tranmission will be out ill do the passenger side while im at it.Quote:

Status Update:
GXP Brakes that the other powdercoating place ****ed up, are now being restriped down and re powdercoated by a more professional powdercoating place for free, even going to rebuild them with my parts for free. DPS Powdercoating, they also do online orders check em out!
Just used my discount and my store credit and purchased a ZZP 245mm Torque Convertor and a Billet flexplate and a engine Gasket set.
I am now pretty much maxxed out for **** i can do to this car. and once this arrives ill have everything i need to do the build (Fluids and Gaskets included)
You could still twin charge it and drop in a 5 speed instead of the auto...
You're no where near "maxed out"
theres always something more you can do
i was mostly refering to maxxed out with what im doing on this build. everything has been touched just about unless you have some ****ing oddball wacked out idea like twin charge or manual conversion
Could go with a CNC block and sheetmetal intake
No no no!Quote:
