So I am looking at purchasing rebuilt CVJ axles for the LX as one of the boots was torn when I bought it and I have no idea how long its been like that. Its got 153K on it so I figure (2) rebuilt axles wouldn't be a bad idea. Below is the pricing and options I received from CVJ. I am thinking about just doing the OEM Toyota boots as I am not going to go any higher than an 2.5" lift, but what do you guys think?
Hi Evan,
Thank you for contacting us regarding front axles for your 2000 LX470. I have included the info you have requested below as well as info on our optional upgrades that are popular with many of our customers that have lifted vehicles.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
We can build one or a pair of CVJ Remanufactured CV Axles with two days notice (we have all the parts, but not finished axles on the shelf). CVJ part number 9534.
These axles have aftermarket neoprene boots. They are fully assembled and are ready to install. There are some boot upgrades listed below.
Your cost is $119.00 each plus a core deposit of $95.00 each. Plus freight (ground shipping) which is about $45.00 or less for two in the US - it varies by zip code.
The core deposit of $95.00 is refunded when you return the core. These are critical cores and should be returned within 30 days for full credit.
The core must be the same original Toyota axle. Aftermarket axles cannot be rebuilt and are poor to begin with.
These are original manufacturer axles that have been completely Remanufactured by us using some aftermarket parts and neoprene boots.
You get OEM steel and design where it counts at a much better price than new, with CVJ reliability.
The axles have a limited lifetime warranty. When used for offroad or in lifted trucks we cannot warrant the axles.

BOOT UPGRADES if you are interested.
Option 1 - Outer Boot - OEM boot for CV joint (wheel side) - $60.00 each additional. This boot gets your axles closest to OEM - longest lasting CV boot. This is an Original OEM Toyota plastic boot & clamps installed on the above axle we build for you. This boot is the longest lasting because it is made of Hytrel plastic which is tougher, more abrasion resistant and more chemical resistant than the aftermarket Neoprene boots. Being hard plastic it does not seal as well as Neoprene, which can be an issue at high angles. (Usually good up to 2 1/2" lift)
There is no warranty on these boots.
Every lift kit is different, each individual uses their truck differently, etc. So, while it is is hard to make specific recommendations here is another boot options that many Toyota truck owners have found valuable:
Option 2- Inner Boot Higher Angle (diff side) - $42.95 each . We also offer a red silicone boots for the Inner joints. These are $42.95 each installed on axles we build for you. (It takes two days)
Many offroaders prefer these for higher angles saying they last longer.
Each lift kit is different. These can help if your inner boots are rubbing on themselves or have longer travel. With the red boot there are a lot more convolutions (ribs) so they can be stretched out so they don't rub or don't rub as much. Also the silicone handles abrasion better than neoprene.
These won't be much help with severe angles.
{We have heard of a couple reports of suspension combinations that do not provide adequate clearance for this boot}. As a rule of thumb you will need an extra inch of clearance from the existing boot (radially & along the shaft). Please check the clearance before ordering.
There is no warranty on these boots.
Option 2a - Some offroaders use the red silicone boots (above) on the outer CV joints (wheel side).
While these boots will help with most lifts, they are not silver bullets and cannot be expected to last as long as a stock truck.
Please give us a call if you are ready to place an order.
We accept Visa and MasterCard.
How did you hear about us?
Thanks for your inquiry, I hope we can be of service to you.
Why CVJ remanufactured?
Original Toyota are much stronger and better designed than Asian aftermarket (auto parts store, some dealerships), but they are expensive.
CVJ properly and completely remanufactures only Original Toyota axle cores. OEM steel and design where it counts, with CVJ reliability at a much better price.
