Would you trust a factory Mopar "remanufactured" CV shaft?

[Cajuntec]

I need to replace my CV shafts. They are clicking - especially the passenger side. When I shake the left one by hand underneath the truck near the transfer case, I can see quite a bit of movement where it connects to the transfer case, and it makes a clunking noise there. I priced CV shafts on Mopar Parts Online. New were $400 +. Remanufactured were less than $100 each. Would you trust them? Or buy new?

All the best,
Glenn

Depends how you use your truck. If you are hard on it, it might benefit to go with the best you can afford. If you drive mainly highway I would have no problem using a quality reman.

It's a daily driver. I seldom ever even use 4wd, and when I do, I'm just trying to get past some muddy areas without getting stuck when I'm out hunting, or going up a slippery boat ramp.

Yes they are solid. That is what they install under warranty when available.

They seemed like a good deal until I realized they add a $50 core charge, and I'm responsible for return shipping, and shipping to me is $108. Maybe I'll just buy locally at O'Reilly Auto Parts. Their brand is "Precision". Don't know anything about them, but it comes out cheaper to buy local from the auto parts store vice online.

Unfortunately, Rock Auto doesn't have them. I was going to give RA a try this time, but they don't have them in stock.

When I had my passenger side CV axle replaced under warranty, the dealer installed a Mopar reman CV axle
