Since Raxle is stop making for 5th Gen. I'm wondering where most member shops for their CV axles and lower control arm.

Quote from Tri-cities Nissan / Coutesy Nissan
$490.00 RH axle and $457.00 LH axle
$137 for each control arm

I wonder if anybody have better recommendations

 

I use MOOG lower ball joints, and they have LCA's avail on rock auto too. Energy Suspension + MOOG = awesome

as for axles I use O'REILLY mainly for the warrantee(which I've used many times :-/)

 

since I've installed all ES bushings & MOOG balljoints, my O'REILLY axles have been much happier.

I guess a greater question is; do u have any suspension mods?

 

Vibration dampener!!!



See that thing on the right axle

 

^GREAT point!! I don't know if they can be purchased separate from the axle, but the remanufactured axles almost always come with vibration dampers... the New Axles do not. Dampers are a muuuust!! Nevermind that the axle on the right is non-abs, because the maxima axles need dampers to last longer no matter what.

anyone know if they can be purchased separate?

 

Cant help with the axles, but I just installed LCA's last weekend made by MOOG. They were the complete system, new LCA, both sets of bushings, and the BJ. They were $205 shipped from Rockauto. Very easy to install, right about an hour and a half start to finish.

 

thanks for the info guys!!! Learn something new today!!!

guess I don't need to go with OEM Nissan stuff this time!!!

 

Yes, I have Tokico Illumina with Eibach spring.

 

MOOG Part # CK620354
MOOG Part # CK620355

Are these you ordered through rockauto?

 

Went through a lot of research and getting a lot mixed reviews.
Many 5th gen still recommend going with Raxle or Nissan OEM coz of aftermarket brand vibration issue.

 

raxles no longer makes axles for our cars

 

Oreilly master pro worked perfect in my 6 speed.

Or junkyard.

 

Is it a auto or manual? Maybe manual aren't as picky but there must be aftermarket models with dampeners.

 

Even though I'm a 4th gen I recommend either buying OEM new or junkyard used.

First time, I bought new Napa axles (best aftermarket available.) Garbage. Massive vibration. Returned and bought remanufactured WITH the damper in place this time. Less vibration but still awful. Third time went to the junkyard to buy a used passenger side and rebooted the OEM driver side. Vibration gone. Honestly unless you want to chance doing a 2nd install do it right and go OEM.

 

true...I will get Rock auto LCA and replace my axles with OEM. I do not want to re/re axle 2nd time!!!

 

it's Auto, so far I haven't find any suitable aftermarket axles.

 

what made raxels so special? thicker metal?

 

Anybody have experiences with this axle sold by importrp?

In the same boat now. The remanufactured Cardone is the way to go now I think. I think they are rebuilt oem.

Raxles are imported Japan parts. Everything else other than oem is Chinese. This is what the guy from Raxle just told me.

 

I thought Raxle was done when it came to Maxima?

I ended up just rebuilding my OEM ones

 

They are done....I was bummed

But Cardone does rebuild stockers i beleive...

 

Ok so I did some homework for everyone....er me.

OEM (remanufactured) by Cardone would be parts # 60-6192 / 60-6190

NEW from Cardone (likely chinese) part #66-6190 / 66-6192

 

These part# for LSD?
