1A Auto reviews the CV Axle Part# 1AACV00131 available on 1aauto.com
Here we have our old CV axle that we removed from our vehicle, and our new part from 1AAuto.com. As you can see, these parts are identical with the same splines and threads. We have the same joints, ABS tone ring, and the same axle shaft lengths. It comes with a new center bearing here and the same threads and dust boot going into the transmission itself. We also get a new nut and a new lock cap for the end. Those should be replaced with any CV axle replacement.
CV axles tend to go bad from torn boots letting all the grease out and drying out the joint inside, or the joint inside going bad for another reason. It can bind or pop. You can also hear a clicking noise when you turn the wheel. These bearings also have the potential to go bad, as it's another failure point on the vehicle. Due to the length of this shaft, they had to support it in the middle somewhere. If your CV axle is making noise, binding or popping out, this new part from 1A Auto is going to go in direct fit just like your original equipment and fix you up right.
