TRQ Front Driver & Passenger Side CV Axle Assembly Set

Good quality and fit perfectly on forester SJ 2015

Fits like a glove feels good, it removed the knocking when turning i think my CVs where worn but still okay i just saw the boot ripped and it had some play so decided to change it, also after really looking at it it looks refurbished, great hob tho so far it feels good on my car tho i recommend getting for budget replacement.

My dad's a machinist and I grew up in his shop. I've worked in fabrication, assembly, and quality control. I've personally replaced a handful of CV joint sets on various vehicles over the years, and always with automotive store bought parts. Auto parts store products carried a premium, but the quality was reliable. This was my first attempt purchasing from this company (without the middle man) and I thought it risky. My fears turned out to be unfounded. The axle assemblies are machined well and I can tell quality manufacturing and talented assembly went into the finished product. The type of steel and heat treating is correct, the splines are tight tolerance with no wiggle. The spider gear doesn't drag and it's nice and tight; same with the races & housing on the other end. The boots are surprisingly thick and a good grade of rubber. The clamping straps were even applied with care. I'm impressed, and I'm not impressed often. The ONLY criticism I could come up with is that the tool marks weren't polished off all of the steel, but that's cosmetic and would only matter on a show car, maybe not even then. It's obvious from the way these axles feel that care was taken to ensure a high quality product was shipped out. The boot clamp tabs were even neatly folded over. The entire axle was lightly oiled and placed in a thick mil plastic bag, then supported with foam braces, and placed in double thick cardboard boxes. There were instructions included, which would help a novice. The only thing better about my OEM axles is that they have rubber vibration dampers on the shaft, which the replacements don't have; I doubt I'd be able to notice the difference though. The car drives like butter compared to original axles. For the price, I think I got a bargain with this quality. I'm not sure what to do with my cores... Parts shops used to want them in exchange...

OK, now that I’ve had these on for a year and a half, I can honestly say they did not last. Yes, the price was right, but, they did not last. If you’re looking for an economical replacement, these are the ones but for longevity they will not last.

I was very satisfied with this dual front CV axle. The quality felt solid and well made, and it fit perfectly with no issues during installation. After installation, the vehicle drove smoothly with no vibrations or noise, even during turns. It completely restored proper handling and eliminated the clicking and shaking I was experiencing. Unfortunately, snowy weather later destroyed my car, but up until that point, the CV axle worked great and performed exactly as expected—especially compared to the price my dealership wanted. Overall, it was a reliable replacement and an excellent value for the cost.
