Is there a better IFS front axle and or hubs?
Somehow I managed to blow out my front passenger CV axles boot. The research I have done indicates that I should just replace the whole Passenger side shaft. Since my rear is new and my front diff had a master kit installed with the gears, I would like to go ahead and do my front hubs as well.(this way I'm on new bearing all the way around)
My question is: Is there a better, stronger, front axle and or hubs out there? I can just replace them, but considering how easy I tore the CV in the first place I'm wondering if there aren't stronger replacements out there? |
its called a SFA swap:)
but yeah not really. every cv joint has flimsy rubber around the joints. i used to offroad a stock s10 and surprisingly never tore a cv joint. but yesterday on some dodge durango street truck i replaced a shaft due to it hitting something on the road, put a big ol ding on the shaft and tore the boot |
i luckily have never tore a cv up yet.
but i look at hubs as yearly maintenance now....price of going tall with 33's i guess. |
Is your truck lifted at all? If so then yes it will be yearly lol. If not, then timken hubs are the best you can get.

Snapped my CV a few weeks ago. The part here the shaft goes into the joint then the hub just shattered. You could turn the CV by hand. Made a great noise driving around lol. Funny thing is it broke on the way home after wheeling did not hear anything just a little clicking sometimes.

Probably just need to make some skid plates for the a-arms I guess. |
