The power and torque of these machines can wreak havoc on axles and the trend of installing lift kits, with bigger wheels and tires, only increases the amount of stress put on axles. This is why factory axles are usually one of the first things to break or need replaced in the driveline.

CV axles are a common replacement component and manufacturers, like TrakMotive, offer new OE replacement and heavy-duty axles.

It’s important to review the features and benefits of both types of replacement axles in order to choose the one that best suits your needs.
