I'm going to replace both front Axles complete as there starting to click and I think it's time . Question besides the dealer who want's $399 each I can get STI Axles for around $170 each there manufactured by Interparts . Has anyone used or heard of these axels any good or bad .

 

did you check ebay or the cv man? find good prices most of the time.

 

Thanks I'll check the CV man .

 

EPI offers axles for most machines. There are a quality replacement axle. You can normally get a complete shaft, half shaft (outer cv joint and axle, or just the cv joints if needed. www.epiperformance.com

 

I already checked them out , they don't have a set for my machine . I'm ordering a set Monday Interparts have the lead but I'm still researching . I wish stock was a little cheeper than $399 each .

 

Anyone else know of a good quality company the deals in atv axles . I'v checked EPI and SuperATV-Rhino both don't sell complete axles for my machine . CV man does but I spent a hour reading horror stories about his axles thus I'm keeping away . And I don't need Gorilla's I'm now thinking of changing all 4 .

 

Thanks for checking with EPI. We are always adding new parts and usually add a big group in the fall after summer testing.

I did check and we do have all four cv joint rebuild kits. So if you cv joint housing are in good shape you could rebuild them that way. Its a little more work but gives you another option. The rebuild kit will rebuild the OE joints only. It will have a ball bearings, cage and race, cv boot, clamps and grease pack.

 

Thank's I ended up buying some other's and when they wear out or before I'm selling the quad and buying a new one . With the amount of miles I have on it I wanted to replace the complete axle shaft and all . I'm now renting tho a set of torches to blow holes in my steel inner cv cup so I can drop a bolt down and attach a slide hammer . After 3 days now I can't remove my axles both sides pulled apart ( what a pain ) fronts came apart no problem .

 

The rears can be a big pain!! Between a slide hammer, some pry bars, penetrating fluid, and a few cus words they will eventually come out (I hope). Good Luck!
