I lowered my maxima with coilovers and im burning up cv axles.any suggestions?

 

That's life. How low are you, what brand/manufacturer, and how many miles are you getting out of a pair?

 

I'm really not that low dropped about 3 inches in the front the CV axles I had on it the boots were bad so I expected those to go however I bought Replacements from Advance Auto Parts I might have 3- 400 miles on them and they're already starting to shake the car during acceleration. I suppose the way to eliminate this is to lift it up?i used the cheap ebay ones rev is the brand they were like 400 bucks

 

I have 25k and a little over a year and a half on my Trakmotive axles and down quite a bit on BC coilovers. Slight, transient vibration at 40 that is enough to annoy me but that's about it. I have a new set of Cardones I'm going to stab this weekend. We'll see how those do. I'm fine with replacing mine when they need, only takes me a couple hours. I'm happy if I get 20k out of a set. Raising up is the only permanent solution. There are no alternatives.

 

Ok I'm gonna chrck on those axles that you mentioned i have no problem working on it.i enjoy it its fun.25k out of apair sounds pretty good to me.

 

Got mine on amazon, but check rockauto, sometimes they have a better deal.

 

I went with the absolute cheapest pair I could find with the Cardones just to test for any difference. I'm interested to see how they do next week. I'll post back when I have a few miles on them. Also, I'm 5th gen, but the issue is the same for all gens.

 

thanks for the advice and not being mean i appreciate that.thanks alot man.

 

Lowered front wheel drive cars always have and always will suffer from axle issues. Just the nature of being low. You just have to live with it and decide when you've had enough. I have been lucky with my Trackmotives, and I'm rolling the dice on the Cardones. Still rolling dice because, there is no solution! Just have to keep playing with it til you find a combo that works for you. If there was an answer already, you'd find it here on the forum, but there is no answer, and that's why you can't find it.

 

I figured it was part of it changing the whole geometry of the front end. And I'm okay with spending money here and there on CV axles and stuff like that bushings tie rod ends all those components I know are going to wear out quickly I do notice that closer to the wheel housing is turning blue where the joint is I wonder if I could cut and weld the CV axle and it might work I am going to ask my welder friend if that's something he thinks he could do
