My 2007 GX470 needs new CVs. Should I buy factory Lexus OEM (really don't want to because a lot of $$$) or aftermarket CVs. What is the best aftermarket company for CVs?
Thank you!

When I rebuilt my front axles I found this video very helpful to understand the full process in depth.
I didn't do the "stretch mod" though -- not relevant to my usage.
Yes OEM is always option #1... That's said, I replaced mine with Cardone 665235HD from Rock Auto. My friend did the same... So far so good.
I did both at the same time, but honestly wouldn't matter if I did them together vs separately. It is easy enough to pull the CV... most time consuming part for me is getting the GX lifted and wheel off. I would say do them at your convenience even if it is not at the same time.Did anybody do CV's AND hubs at the same time? I'm just wondering if I should go that route on mine (incomplete service records, and both inner boots are leaking, 228k on odometer)
