Leave it to somebody to compare this to a friggin honda...Robster..he had to change the axle because he jumped his truck like 11 feet in the damn air..it bent it...but was still driveable..he changed it to regain his alignment. You dont just friggin replace the things otherwise..just keep fluid in them clean The trucks that have CV front axles..they have to be replaced quite often in abusive conditions..you CANNOT beat a solid axle for durability...unless you get a damn humvee. FYI..that is the front axle..not the rear hoss.
