- Proprietary engineering processes ensure that all CV Drive Axles meet OE form, fit and function
- Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress and cracking, which is the leading cause of boot failure
- An axle retaining nut is supplied with every unit for a hassle-free installation, due to the likelihood that the original retaining nut is worn or stripped
- CV Drive Axle measurements are validated after assembly to ensure a proper fit; Threads are precision rolled to ensure proper fit when axle nut is installed
- Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped, creating a perfect seal between the boot and housing

I bought two of these for my 2000 Subaru Forester. Fit/Finish is good, and they appear to be very high quality. They are new, not remanufactured. Unfortunately the dust shields at the wheel end of the axles both got bent up in shipping (the shields stick out further than the rest of the joint on that end, so they take the weight of any impacts. The machined areas are coated in a light oil and then covered with a plastic bag and rubber band to prevent rust until you install them, which is a nice touch.
I contacted the manufacturer through Facebook, and they’re working on getting me new dust shields and axle nuts so that I can replace the damaged pieces rather than having to return the whole order.
I’m sure that Amazon would have let me return these with no problems, but I needed to install these to get the car back on the road. I straightened out the bent dust shield with a pair of pliers and installed them while I wait for the replacement pieces. I’ve been ordering more parts from Amazon lately after a bad experience with a simple return to a competitor whose name has “rock” and “auto” in it… Amazon doesn’t have as good an inventory or parts look up (yet), but often the prices are pretty close, and I can use my prime membership for free shipping and have it in a couple days (or even overnight for cheap if I’m in a hurry). Plus, I have on occasion returned things to Amazon, and they are super easy to deal with.

Worked as it should!

Seem like a good quality product. In hindsight my 98 outback needed new struts, axles and wheel bearings and it would have been a lot easier to do all three at the same time. Oh well. The car now drives like new and I can actually hear the wind noise.

I bought two of these new CV axes for my Legacy and had a local garage install them. They fixed the thumping problem that I was hearing from my Legacy during acceleration. The quality looks great and they are a fraction of the cost of OEM CV axles.

Arrived on time and looks to be a good quality part.

4/3/2023 – I ordered this axle a second time to replace the other side. Packaging was a lot better this time. Roll pin is always a headache. But the installation went well and the driveline clunk is gone. I’m happy to report that the first axle I bought on 9/12/2012 is still going fine after 52K miles.
9/12/2012 – The world has truly changed where an on-line book retailer delivered a fairly serious auto part to our front door. The axle assembly came with the axle nut and inboard roll pin (common to Subaru front axles on the inboard joint). Everything fit correctly. This unit came with an additional flange I have not seen before that is essentially a metal dust shield that help protect the outer dust seal on the backside of the wheel knuckle. The fast shipping allowed me to order it on Wednesday night and install it that weekend.

Fit perfect in 1999 Subaru Forester. Great quality out of the box.

After spending some hours working on my 99 Forester and replacing both the front half-axles with these Cardones, I test drove it and everything was fine. I couldn’t drive it very far before aligning it because my cambers where now way out. Replacing these half-axle requires removing the camber bolts and detaching the wheel bearing housings from the struts. This requires realignment afterwards so that the wheel’s camber is set correctly. This is easier than the prescribed popping the ball joints, and both require alignment afterwards anyways. So anyways I drove to a shop we’ve used for years and the payed $100+ for alignment. Now that my car was in drivable condition I went to work with it on Monday. The right half-axle started making clicking sounds at speed. This was happening particularly under acceleration or while turning to the right. The sound was getting worse and worse. Awesome.
Several weeks later, after I got the replacement from Amazon (thanks Amazon!) and had a chance to spend hours taking apart my car again, I replaced the front right half-axle for a second time. Once removed it was clear to see what the problem was. The CV joint was flexing axially (It’s not supposed to) with the inner boot flexing in and out like a plunger. While it had seemed okay out of the box it was now even worse than the broken one I originally removed (and this one had failed within the first 50 miles). The mechanic who I had do the alignment remarked that he has had brand new Cardone parts fail right after installing them. Generally he did not recommend them. A former mechanic (Our resident car advice guru at work) said pretty much the same thing, and estimated that he’s seen Cardones be 70/30, with 30% of the ones he’s installed being broken or defective right out of the box. Turns out they were both spot on with their prognosis. I would have been better of asking them originally rather than going by couple of good reviews for Cardones online.
It’s been around 500 miles with 2 of these now WORKING front half axles and they’re fine at the moment, but I would probably never buy a Cardone again. With parts like these theres no way to know they’re not bad actors intil you’ve already done all the work and installed it on you car. I would recommend EMPI or another brand because with Cardones it seems you’re gambling that you might have to do the work over again (not a small undertaking). If something takes 2+ hours of taking apart your car and getting all sweaty, and messing up you alignment you sure don’t want to be doing it again because the part you bought was defective. I’m hoping these half-axles have better longevity than they do consistency in initial quality AND hopefully i got the only bad one they made in a million. But i doubt it.
