So my outer original cv joint broke on me a few months ago leaving me stranded, so i replaced it with a GSP axle I bought from advanced auto parts. NOT A GOOD AXLE. This axle was noisy from the time i installed it. The axle lasted three months before it to failed. It has a lifetime warranty so I gave it the benefit of the doubt thinking it might have been just that axle. Nope, I just replaced it again and still, the same ****. Basically these axle's are junk. End of story. Maybe someone has a similar experience they would like to share?

 

I wouldn't use an auto parts store halfshaft for starters, but are you sure you used enough grease? I use Empei's and have zero issues. Got them for pretty cheap to.

 

I've used plenty of grease. I actually used aviation grease and I used hydraulic pressure to pack both joints. Basically the cheap chinese axles are junk.

 

I always stick with name brand axles like Empi, put a front right on mine a few years ago and its still holding up. Can get those for around $175.
