TRQ CV (constant velocity) drive axles are manufactured using premium raw materials designed to restore original performance. TRQ CV drive axles are new, so there is no core charge with your TRQ purchase. TRQ-designed drive axles utilize neoprene boots, moly grease, stainless steel clamps, and heat-treated ball tracks to ensure extended service life. Each TRQ axle is application-specific so each spline and thread will mate properly for a seamless fit. All products are fit and road-tested in our Massachusetts R&D facility to ensure we deliver on our promise of Trusted Reliable Quality.
Product Features
100% New: Manufactured to tighter tolerances for extended service life
Neoprene Boots: Improved durability compared to stock material
Moly Greased: Specifically-designed grease shield to reduce premature wear
Application Specific Design: No modification
CV axles are designed to transmit the power from your vehicle's drivetrain to the wheels while being able to flex and pivot to the demands of the steering and suspension systems. If your vehicle is making clicking noises at lower speeds or when making turns, it may be time to replace your CV axles with our 100% brand new assemblies.
Note: You will need to reuse your original inner stub shaft with this new replacement CV axle. The splined shaft on the inner joint from your original assembly can be removed and installed onto the new CV assembly.

Brought to you by 1AAuto.com, your source for quality replacement parts and the best service on the Internet. Hi. I'm Mike Green; I'm one of the owners of 1A Auto. I want to help you save time and money repairing and maintaining your vehicle. I'm going to use my 20 plus years experience restoring and repairing cars and trucks like this, to show you the correct way to install parts from 1AAuto.com. The right parts installed correctly. That's going to save you time and money. Thank you, and enjoy the video.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the front drive axle on this '04 Dodge Ram, same as most of these '02 to '08 generation vehicles. Pretty easy, you need a 22 millimeter or 7/8 socket and lug wrench or, I'm sorry, a lug wrench or a socket and ratchet. You'll also need a 35 millimeter socket with an air impact wrench or a large breaker bar and pipe. First, you want to remove your wheel, if you're just using hand tools start with the vehicle on the ground, loosen lug nuts first, then raise it, secure it with jack stands and then remove the wheel. I've got air tools; I'm going to use them. These are either 7/8 or 22 millimeter. Both will work. So you'll notice here that the brakes are apart. You do not have to take the breaks apart. I was just filming this while I was doing a few different repairs. This only involves lifting up the truck, taking the wheel off and then removing and replacing the axle. You'll also notice that I don't actually replace the axle with a new one, because it wasn't bad on this vehicle, I was just doing the video so you can see how it's done. I'm going to take the hub nut off, and I've got a 35-millimeter impact wrench and socket. I've your using hand tools, you're going to have to lift up, take the lug nuts off, take the center cap off, put the wheel back on, and the lug nuts back on, then use your breaker bar and pipe. A little more difficult, a little more involved, but that's how you do it. I'll just get to it and use my impact wrench here. Okay, I hit it and it moved so it's free.
Now, what you want to do is get a pry bar and then go way up like that, and pull your axle right off like that. Hammer, and your axle is out. So now we're just going to take our axle, put it right up around here, feed it into the hub, turn it a little bit so we know we're matching it with the hub. Push it right in. I'm going to take my hub nut and using my impact wrench, just to get it on there, not really to tighten it all the way up yet. Now, I'm going to grab hold of my CV joint on the inside, pull it. So you go up on the top, pull your joint in as much as you can. Get it going onto the axle, and then push all the way on. Make sure it gets on there. So you're axle is back in. Put your wheel back up on and put the lug nuts on there without the center cap. Just put them on by hand first, and then I'm just going to tighten them up a little bit with my impact wrench, preliminarily. So your hub nut 185 foot pounds, my poor torque wrench only goes up to 150. So there's 150, 185. Now, I'll raise the vehicle back up, take the lug nuts off, put the center cap back on, and preliminarily tighten up the lug nuts. Let the vehicle back down and torque the lug nuts to 120 foot-pounds, using a star pattern.

Good to go.

The axles are of superior quality and are generally excellent. However if you need to replace the axles on your dodge like me. Some things to remember. These guys do have a good video on YouTube on how to do it. But....
1) The axle nuts on these axles are 36MM. The OEM is 35MM.
2) Seriously replace the snap ring and seal on the differential. The seal was considered a weak link with the old style.
3) On extreme cases like mine your going to need new axles in the differential. If the CV cup rocks back and forth on the axle then you need to replace the axle.
4) Use a slide hammer with an extension and the CV joint hook. Removing the CV joints has ranged from just popping it off to hammering it to death.
GREAT PARTS

First time ordering. Ordered Cv Axles for my 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4. Parts came as advertised on time and a good price. Install was a snap and appreciate the video on How to. 4 star only because I have not put much mileage on the parts to see if they hold quality. Great so far. Also I haven't had to use their customer service to see how they handle their business because my order was correct. No issues. 5star otherwise. I will use again.

The product was exactly what I order for my 1500 dodge ram truck, although the video show you how to install them, and the video made it look easy, but it was not that easy to take out the cv axels, but I did get it done. So I like 1aauto.
