CV Half shaft assembly - OEM or no?
2001 Chevy Blazer 4wd LT
I've finally found that the cause of the clicking noise I get when turning my wheels is due to the CV joints..
I went on rock auto and found that the whole assembly seems to cost way less and so I want to buy the whole thing instead but I am not sure what brand to go with
There are a lot of brands with cheaper prices and the names are API, Surtrack, cardone select, A-1 cardone, EMPI, and finally AC Delco.
All these brands items are cheaper than $100s, some even less than $50 but AC Delco is 260 for front left and 470 for front right..
I would like to know if its worth the money? I feel like original parts are good but the fact that its the same part that failed makes me wonder if theres a possibility that the others could have been made with better quality or are longer lasting.
Also I noticed there is an option for "High Rider" with each brand. What does that mean?

High rider is going to be for the ZR2. They have longer control arms due to more suspension lift.
Cardone Select is going to be a new unit and A1 Cardone a remanufactured unit. As far as the other brands, if it's under $100 it will most likely be a repaired axle vs. all new materials.
