New or Used CV joints

[Turbobum]

Which are better...new aftermarket CV joints or rebuilt original factory ones? Anyone have any bad luck with rebuilt ones?

It really depends on the quality of the rebuild - many of them are hand hogged out to put larger bearings in them, which does not lend itself to high quality and/or long life.

We sell a good quality new one at a really good price: SHO Source

The only reason I ask is they all have a life time warranty. I've never seen anyone have any problems with a rebuilt one, but I've also run into folks that swear new ones are better.

If you're going to buy new, go SHOSource or Raxles.

Evan the A1 Cardone remans can last longer than new ones. Sometimes. I have installed "several" warranty replacements for the cost of only 45 minutes of my effort. Still rolling after 411,000 miles.
