Running Napa with the heavy boots, spitting some grease on the passenger side at 5,000 miles. Probably my fault though, I now think I caused a small tear when I swapped in new hubs just prior to seeing grease. I'll run them for a few years until I get around to rebooting the stock ones.

Would still recommend.

I forget where I got mine from but they are cardone brand and "replaced" my Toyota stockers that both had torn boots last summer. Took my rig in for a Bilstein 5100 / XREAS delete not even 6 months later and the guy calls me and says I need a new CV axle. I said WHAT!? They were JUST replaced! - The large side clamp popped on the driver side and its all exposed.

That's "cardone" for you. Knowing all aftermarket CV's for these were junk I kept my stock ones and will have them cleaned up and re-booted.

CV boot kit

My 2004 T4R OEM CV boot part is 4438-60030 for older style CV axle assembly from 2002-2004. Is there any good quality aftermarket CV boot kit for this kind of axle please? Thanks.

I noticed one of my OEM inner joint was starting to get a little sloppy. I put on the A1 Cardones for $60 a pop. I've been beating the sh1t out of them over a year on trail non stop. Still smooth as a cloud. OEMs refurbished and trail backups like homie mentioned earlier. I compared them and they are banded in the same manner as OEM and the boots feel like the same material. They're easy to change anyways so F_ck Toyota prices. I'll buy ten sets for the price of one and keep beating them up for fun. Lifted 3" by the way.

I've had a few problems with leaks with the remanufactured. And always use OEM seals. But have had real good luck with their new axles. Been running for a couple of years without issue.

this. I have the Napa HD boot axles and they replace them for free when the boots tear. it's easy to swap out, so just swap in the new one, return the old one, keep it until you need to swap again.

I'm lifted 3" and run 35s, wheel probably once a month or so, and I seem to tear a boot once a year on these.

I have about 4 years and 50k miles on the NAPA premium axles with the HD boots and have not had a problem so far. I am not a wheeler but I do have the adjustable Bilstiens with 1” lift on the front just due to the occasional minor flooding I have to deal with in my area.

As I recall I was able to order online with a pretty decent discount and have them delivered to the store. The price ended up being close to the junk that some of the other stores sell as axles…

However, most of the posts are 2+ year old with mixed data points, mostly good reviews with a few bad due to possible other variables (using the remans instead of new, longer than factory shocks but not LT, only used as a spare/temporarily)

From my findings, the NCV 944052 should have a standard boot, while the NCV 944082 have a heavy duty boot. But they are also supposed to have a $30 diff (currently $1 diff), and made by CARDONE (currently made by SurTrack PN: TO-8168)
Check Napa link for the SurTrack PN -> Attention Required! | Cloudflare
Amazon review of the TO-8168
Amazon.com: SurTrack TO-8168 CV Axle Shaft : Automotive

Has anyone recently tried Napa CV's?
Interested since I also need new CVs. But the 5th gen CVs are supposed to fit 4th gens even though the part number is different. They are 330 ish. Still expensive but not 500 through Toyota

Sorry for the late reply, but I ended up avoiding the Napa CV's because they changed distributors and the CV's are offered by Surtrack, which I really couldn't find much data points on. With that, I did some digging to find that the "good" CV's from Napa were the ones from Cardone, PN 665235 HD. I haven't done any hard wheeling yet, but they aren't binding at full droop.

Check it out in my build thread. https://www.toyota-4runner.org/3702153-post215.html
