Anyone try these long travel front CV axles?

More Information for TRAKMOTIVE FD8167XTT

Please y'all don't buy them all I need 2 weeks to order mine.

But it's got sliding center shaft to reduce the angles on the CV joint.

160 each is not a bad price either, I know there are cheaper alternatives, which I had to go with for one of my rear ones, but not as expensive as Motocraft.

Had a rear wheel bearing go bad, and this time I am just replacing the whole knuckle as a unit especially since it comes with an axle nut. That rear cv axle got knocked apart by my idiot ex nephew in law, and could never get a boot to stay attached.

My truck is original purchase from when I lived in Michigan, and the axle threads have taken a beating from the salt. I plan to redo all of them.

Here they are in person. I couldn't pull the travel part by hand. Will have to install to see how much it goes.

Do you have the BTF upper control arms?

They were listed on rock auto but give me some time I'll go out to garage and get the actual skis off the boxes.

Going to try and install today.

As of right now these aint worth a ****. Too ****ing short on the passenger side pulled with all my strength and couldn't get through the wheel bearing splines to get the axle nut on.

Will be contacting tracmotive. Will put pics up later, looks like the moog struts will be in the way too.

300 rusting in the garage, the paperwork in boxes said something about a Datsun.

Anyway they don't fit mine, Trakmotive never replied to emails, was too late to return to RA, Anyone does have a use for them pm me, they are shorter than stock extended, IDK if wrong item in box, or wrong label on box, but length issue, and won't clear aftermarket strut either, too thick in that area.
