So I need to replace my CV axles. I get a big shake when I put the car under load. There seems to be only 2 options out there. OEM axles that are 500$ each or really cheap ones under $100 like duralast that have terrible reviews. There are a bunch available on rockauto. But I'm not sure what I should get if any. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated. I a have a 2004 volvo xc90 2.5T AWD. It has over 180k miles so no need for anything fancy. But I do take a lot of long trips in the thing

 

The retail market is pretty much dominated by $50 each with a lifetime warranty. Worth a try. Personally I can swap them in an hour, so the labor is not a problem, or shouldn't be.

I looked on Rock Auto and I see that Cardone is getting out of the lifetime warranty for my car. Didn't look at yours though.
