Searched and searched the threads on this topic but didnt see any specific mention of where to buy the parts inexpensively. I have a torn CV boot on the driver's side, however my car has close to 140k on it and I am thinking of just replacing both driver and passenger side boots/axles.

Where can I get the parts cheaply? Part numbers I have are 4343060061 & 4343060060.

Is this vehicle a daily driver or off-roader? A lot of members have had poor luck with non-factory/lower priced alternatives when it comes to CV Axles; they tend to snap on the trails (you get what you pay for I guess).

But most daily driven/on-road members don't have issues with them. I would call up a dealer and see if they can quote you prices for new and reman'd Toyota axles and what the core cost would be.

Additionally if you feel up to the task, you could locate the CV Boot kits and reboot them yourself for much cheaper. As long as the axles haven't gotten a bunch of debris in them and have some grease still in the joint they are mostly likely reusable.

Thanks for the great info!
 
Cvj axles out of Denver does rebuilds on Toyota oem axles. Catch is you have to have oem axles to send them for the cores. They are good quality and offer different upgrades for the boots if you do off-road.
 
I'm going to second rockauto. I replaced both of mine and I think the total including shipping for 2 complete axles was $112
 
re-boot

Yes re-booting is messy, but pretty easy, and cheap. Also, you'll maintain your OEM axles, and if you have a better chance of maintaining the integrity of your axle seals by leaving the inner tulip joint in place.
 
Probably a dumb question but whats the easiest way to tell if yours are OEM? Where would I look for a part #?

I have a bunch of credits at Advance Auto and planned on buying their new CARQUEST CV Shafts New CV Axle Shaft Assembly
CARQUEST CV Shafts New CV Axle Shaft Assembly NCV69170: Advance Auto Parts

I would be down to something like $30 each after coupons and my discounts. I don't mind spending the money for OEM but that sure is difficult to pass up. I'll give CVJ a call as well. I don't see prices listed on their site.

Please don't waste your time with those NEW carquest axle. Sure the "new" sounds enticing but fitment and quality is poor. I bought a set for my wifes accord. Once i install it on the transmission side, I spun it to ensure it is even and balanced. But it was not , the cup thats connected to the shaft spline was wobbly. Meaning its not straight when it was cast. Good thing i didn't install the whole thing just to find out at high speed the car would shake horribly. Returned it and grab a set of oem reman from napa with zero issue.
 
I've got 2 NAPA remans on my '94, and 1 on my '06. The '94 has a front locker and 33's and has been on some pretty tough trails with no issues whatsoever with those reman CVs.

I'm pretty sure that most (if not all) NAPA reman CV's start out with OEM cores, so they have good material in them.

Lot of options here

Reman - New - or New w/Optional Heavy Duty Thermoplastic Outboard Boot

Sounds like most are doing the Reman. Is that correct?

any idea what cvj's would cost?
 
Just found this email I still had. Please note, their prices could have changed since this email. This was back in may

We can build a set of CVJ Remanufactured CV Axles with two days notice (we have all the parts but don't have any on the shelf). CVJ part number 9808.
Your cost is $99.00 each plus a core deposit of $95.00 each. Plus freight (UPS ground) which is about $49.00 or less for two in the US - it varies by zip code.

The core deposit of $95.00 is refunded when you return the core. These are critical cores and should be returned within 30 days for full credit.
The core must be the same original Toyota axle. Aftermarket axles cannot be rebuilt and are poor to begin with. Link: How to ID Toyota axle

These are original manufacturer axles that have been completely Remanufactured by us using some aftermarket parts and neoprene boots.
You get OEM steel and design where it counts at a much better price than new, with CVJ reliability.

The axles have a limited lifetime warranty. When used for offroad or in lifted trucks we cannot warrant the axles.

Here are some options if you are interested.

Option 1 - Outer Boot - OEM boot for CV joint (wheel side) - $60.00 each additional. This boot gets your axles closest to OEM - longest lasting CV boot. This is an Original OEM Toyota plastic boot & clamps installed on the above axle we build for you. This boot is the longest lasting because it is made of Hytrel plastic which is tougher, more abrasion resistant and more chemical resistant than the aftermarket Neoprene boots. Being hard plastic it does not seal as well as Neoprene, which can be an issue at high angles. (Usually good up to 2 1/2" lift)
There is no warranty on these boots.

Every lift kit is different, each individual uses their truck differently, etc. So, while it is is hard to make specific recommendations here is another boot options that many Toyota truck owners have found valuable:

Option 2- Inner Boot Higher Angle (diff side) - $42.95 each . We also offer a red silicone boots for the Inner joints. These are $42.95 each installed on axles we build for you. (It takes two days)
Many offroaders prefer these for higher angles saying they last longer.
Each lift kit is different. These can help if your inner boots are rubbing on themselves or have longer travel. With the red boot there are a lot more convolutions (ribs) so they can be stretched out so they don't rub or don't rub as much. Also the silicone handles abrasion better than neoprene.
These won't be much help with severe angles.
{We have heard of a couple reports of suspension combinations that do not provide adequate clearance for this boot}. As a rule of thumb you will need an extra inch of clearance from the existing boot (radially & along the shaft). Please check the clearance before ordering.
There is no warranty on these boots.

While these boots will help with most lifts, they are not silver bullets and cannot be expected to last as long as a stock truck.

We accept Visa and MasterCard.

How did you hear about us?
Thanks for your inquiry, I hope we can be of service to you.


Why CVJ remanufactured?
Original Toyota are much stronger and better designed than Asian aftermarket (auto parts store, some dealerships), but they are expensive.
CVJ properly and completely remanufactures only Original Toyota axle cores. OEM steel and design where it counts, with CVJ reliability at a much better price.
 
can anyone tell me why there are two part numbers at the top of this thread?

i notice these both say the v6 or v8 and one of them states for either the left or right (universal) application?

I need this mainly for the passenger side and dont want to get the wrong part.

EDIT: looks like people recommend getting new seals at the same time??? this is going to be expensive for both sides smdh

Thanks
Tom
