TRX CV Axle options

[Rob_]

FYI - the latest OEM CV part number ending in AG is supposed to fix the problem of torn boots which lead to the joint failure. Before exploring expensive aftermarket options, it might be easier to get a set of the AG's and give them a try...just my 2c.

Hope this is true. My second boot since buying used in November, but it ends in AG!!

If it leaks it’s gonna end up clunking

I'm thinking these axles have far to much grease in them and it's being forced out the clamp. I broke one axle after 22k miles and it had been leaking for the last 5k and when it broke there was still a massive amount of grease left. It is coming out between the clamp on these new axles. I've been a pro technician for 35 years so I did the repair myself. Didn't want the dealer working on this truck. Not sure what to do next?

So, is this a thing? Is there an actual group buy? I'd like to bring this thread back to life since I have 17,000 mi and just broke my second CV axle. I offroad my truck, very hard, meaning 80 mph over whoops, jumping it, etc. This is no mall crawler.

How did it break? Was it just a torn boot?
Did the cv cage break?

Did the stub break? That’s the most common actual real break. It’s because the plunging spline shaft didn’t extend due to stiction and pulled the stub and it got into a bad angle and then breakage.
This can be solved in the future by cv-2 grease on a rebuild.
I think the mid 22 (feb and newer) plus trucks use a different lube. I haven’t heard of the issues on the newer trucks.

I drive, I'm not a mechanic. I take it to the dealership, they replace the axle, I drive again.

I will ask the dealership what exactly was broken. Mine is a 2022 and I broke the previous axle about 9 months ago but I think it was on the other side if I remember correctly. This time it's the driver's side last time it was the passenger side.

Oh I don't care about that haha. I meant the offroading hard. Love meeting others that use these trucks the way I do.

That's what I'm talking about! Love to see it.

I'm in SoCal. Truck sees most of its dirt in Johnson Valley and in Mexico

Stock. My viewpoint is the engineers know what they're doing and leave it alone unless I want more problems. I should exclude from this list their axles, I don't think they knew what they were doing. That said, when this is out of warranty I may do a Robbie Williams long travel kit with kings.

Looks stock to me.
