Extended/High articulation CV Axle
- Thread starter Radwolv
- Start date
I have them installed and about 20 miles on them. I’ll try to throw some pictures in tomorrow comparing the articulation with these vs oem.

Im probably about 4-5 K miles so far on them. 75% of those miles off road. The shape of the boots are interesting in that they are molded to definitely rub on each other a lot less.
I’m at 2” of suspension lift using bilsteins, and 265/75s and and I’d say at this point they’re a buy. Napa has warranty on them also. The seem a bit heavier than the stock units also.
I can’t think of a reason to not go with them unless your in the long travel area, or you just want rcv’s or another high end one. There’s definitely nothing lacking in the construction of the Napa units. Wished they sent a better nut with it though.
I may send my Oe ones to get rebuilt. I have a feeling it’ll be a waste of time though.
Be advised though that you’ll have to reuse your axle retainer I remember right. The one they sent didn’t work, sorry I can’t remember why, but I do remember that I just reused the OE nut if I recall.
That part number fits a lot of applications also.
Super easy repair. A good pry bar will assist in removing the inner shaft from the diff by overcoming the retaining ring.
As a guy who’s basically done an almost all Toyota parts resto and already spent way more in Toyota parts than I paid for this rig, I’d buy the Napa 1258 shafts again 100%.

Purchased a gen3 lifted by somebody else. They put OME 890s in back and merely put a spacer on the struts in front to match the resulting rear lift. This resulted in a ton of positive camber and the tires wore out on the outside edges. It eventually resulted in a blown CV seal.
My response was to ditch the lift and go with stock springs/struts. I'll be selling the 890s shortly.
Am curious, however, if there is enough adjustment to remove the positive camber with the standard setup after a 2" lift?

I got an alignment yesterday with OME 880s (~1.5"-2" lift), 265/75r16 tires, original UCAs and original CVs. Here's my numbers:
Front Left: Camber 0.0, Caster 3.0, Toe 0.12
Front Right: Camber 0.1, Caster 3.3, Toe 0.13
Total Toe: 0.26
Steer Ahead: -0.01

What does NAPA's warranty say about off-road use? Autozone states their warranty won't cover it if you break it while wheeling
Edit: So which one of you made this review? https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/...274/import-direct-cv-axle-shaft/idd1/to8043et

Are any of you guys trading in your cores on these axles? From what I'm seeing NAPA isn't requiring a core charge which is great if you still have OEM axles that you'd like to keep and rebuild.
I'm sure these aren't the best out there but since there's free shipping, lifetime warranty, and maybe no core charge. I think they may be worth a shot for the money, everyone seems to be happy with them so far.

I just ordered TrakMotive TO8043ET Extended Articulation CV Axles. No core charge. I’ll reboot/rebuild my originals and keep them as spares.
Time will tell. I’ll update after some miles.

op2:CV and 5100
I have 6112 in front, and I was wondering if there about the same size? I didn't want to order the Tracktion CV and it not fit?

[MENTION=414672]Locke434[/MENTION] The TrackMotive axles are quite a bit thicker than OEM.
Here are some photos of the TrakMotive and Bilstein 5100 clearance.
Steering wheel dead center, stock weight truck sitting on level ground.
5100s set to lowest perch and paired with OME 880 coils.
Hopefully gives you a better idea about 6112 fitment:
