Which aftermarket CV shaft would you recommend?

[Cajuntec]

My Ram remanufactured CV shaft I replaced earlier this year leaked from the boot closest to the hub and got grease everywhere.

Under warranty, they shipped me another remanufactured one. The splines are too loose, so it won’t lock in place, and it wobbles worse than the original one I replaced.

Dealer says the part is on backorder until after Christmas, and truck has already been parked for weeks. So aftermarket seems like the ticket.

Rock Auto has Trakmotive and a few others, along with the factory $500 ones ($450 plus core). I’m so disgusted with the factory parts right now, I’m leaning towards aftermarket.

RockAuto, Autozone, O’Reilly, etc???

Many run Trakmotive and I don't recall any issues. They make 2 different, Standard and extended travel for lifted

Thanks. That's what I was leaning towards. My truck isn't lifted.

Trakmotive is a solid choice

Just had my RF cv shaft replaced by the dealer, Took almost a month to get the cv and intermediate shaft in stock
