CV AXLESH Has anyone had problems with their cv axles?

I know one guy with an R50 pathfinder that cracked the driver's side tripod joint twice in one week, he attributes it to too much front lift. Other than that I do not know of any repetitive problems.

What kind of problems? Mine broke alot when I wheeled hard on them.

I went through a lot of CV boots.

I broke one and have lost count of torn boots. When your UCA bushings get bad along with other front end stuff it tends to stretch the boot. Over time or hard use it rips them.
