Hello People:
At beginning of Nov 2023 replaced my driver CV axle. Good on paved road, but clunked and clanked over rocks on trails.
Installed a rebuild Napa CV axle, as it has good reviews and is correct length.
Everything was good after install. Most of front end had been rebuild, including passenger side CV axle.
No clunking on trails, was very happy.
Put few hundred trail miles and around 1,000 highway miles over the holidays.
Had not been on trails since December, just street use.
Slowly noticed clunking noise coming back when going over pavement street ruts.
Today took Jeep on trail....the clunking on driver's side is back full force.
Less than 4 months and less than 2,500 miles and Napa driver's side is bad.
Napa passenger side still good.
Really bummed need to replace driver's side again.
Wondering if I just got a bad NAPA rebuild and should give NAPA another try...
or try to change to another higher quality brand...if one exists.
Please let me know if you think I should stick with NAPA or try something else, like Detroit axle, Cardone, or other brand
Do not want to be doing this again anytime soon.
