Well, that sucks. As the title suggest, I just had my shop install new hubs/cv axles with AC Delco #15886012 only to find grease everywhere as soon as I got home. Really surprised this happened. I figured these were pretty dang solid but I guess all parts have issues? Sending back to RockAuto and glad the shop will change out at no charge.

 

Curious, was it just the boot or did the actual CV grenade?

 

is the front of the truck lifted past stock?

 

I have the 4" Rancho installed, is that the reason why? I thought others were running the same axles with the same kit no problem.
I hope TAINTER chimes in..

 

Live & Learn: CARDONE 661417

Through research into why original CVs typically fail, CARDONE has designed new solutions to avoid repeat failure. For example, their Neoprene boots are designed with additional bellows, when needed, to resist bellow stress...

How many bellows on your ACD?

 

I understand, but 7 miles down the road? I'm going to stick with the beefier, longer, steel axles meant for the '09 Alphas running 35's.

 

Who manufactures the "beefier, longer, steel axles"? Post a pic of the label on the box.

 

Cardone manufactures AC Delco axles, why did they bust within 7 miles?

 

You bought the > ACD label< you pay more and get less BELLOWS.

 

H3T owners made it a whole lot longer than 1 day from the dealership back in the day. Your point would be made over the course of time, but not 24/hrs. I would believe my issue is my lift kit/35's before choice of axle but that's stretching it. This has to be a fluke of a part.
