Just installed a new CV axle

I just got finished putting a new right-side CV axle on my car. It wasn't that hard at all. The only snag was that I had to run to the parts store to get a socket for the big axle nut (it's 36mm). Other than that, not bad. I changed the axle, changed the oil and rotated the tires in a little under 3 hours.

Oh yeah I got the axle from Raxles.

The parts from raxles come ready to install, so there was no grease invlolved really.


You guys are correct, I broke even on horsepower. I did gain some from the stickers that came with the axle, but I lost it when I rotated the tires...

normally people change axles when the boot rips. i assume your boot was rip so u had to change the axle...and u know when the boot rips grease is all over the place.

nah, my boot wasnt ripped, the outer joint was crushed from racing. Yeah it is literally plug n play with the new one. No prep at all. Comes with brand new joints, precision boots and filled up with Amsoil synthetic grease.
