Do you need new axles or can you just get new boots?

 

Obviously just boots will be cheaper and can maintain the OE axles.

 

I went through this as well, ended up with a SURTRACKSB8047 (SB-8047), new axle not a reman. It's been working great, no issues. I do plan on rebooting my orig axle and (whenever) I do my suspension I'll swap it out.

I caught it late and shoved grease in the boot then wrapped and ziptied it.

It isn't making any noise but it has 186k on it so I'm just going to play it safe and replace both fronts and possibly rears too if they are in bad shape when I do my suspension mods later this month or early August.

Thank you, after 47 pages of BS and debate it gets a little overwhelming looking for things.

These write-ups or part inquiries should be kept as stickies and not be 47 pages long. This is why people ask the same questions over and over again.

I love the knowledge-base here but it gets very diluted and is not succinct in a lot of cases.Thank you again,

Ok I have read this whole freekin thread and I have seen no clear decisive choice for new CV axles...

I have an 05 LGT turbo charged 5EAT sedan and I want to get new axles on the front but do not want to pay OE prices.

1. What are good dependable time/mile tested reliable well fitting front CV axles that are OE?
   
2. What are their part numbers?
   
3. What is the part number of the seal with the spring in it?
   

Many thanks,

V

Sorry if this info is somewhere but I cannot find it.

What are the color codes for the pill sizes? I.E. the color dot on the hose, Yellow, blue, etc...

I have an 05 LGT 5EAT.

Thanks,

Thank you sir. We'll have to have an LGT house warming party once we're moved in and unpacked.

I wanted to be there today as a volunteer but we found a new house this week and we are starting the sorting, packing, cleaning and tossing process. Not to mention the deposit left us a little thin on $.

I HATE moving...

Have fun today and be safe.
