    Soooooo.... i might need a new CV shaft (or two)

    What ever came of this? Should I steer clear of NAPA and try another brand? Rockauto has a few different brands for CV's....

    Since mine arent completely toast yet (trying to track down a popping noise and think it might be one of the joints going), figured I'd replace them with some aftermarket CV's and keep my OEM ones as spares for the trail.

    I have found all of the aftermarket ones inferior to the factory except for the RCV's. The ones i havent tried are the Crown ones. But im not kind to them either

    Honestly i'm leaning towards OEM.

    However, my popping noise miraculously quieted down today. Makes me wonder if it was the diff and just took another day of driving for the fresh friction modifier to work itself in.... Will see what happens over the next few weeks.
