TRQ Driver and Passenger Side CV Axle Assembly Set 2 Piece Compatible with 97-03 Chevrolet Malibu; 04-05 Classic; 02-04 Pontiac Grand Am 2.2L Automatic Transmission

I was very satisfied with this dual front CV axle. The quality felt solid and well made, and it fit perfectly with no issues during installation. After installation, the vehicle drove smoothly with no vibrations or noise, even during turns. It completely restored proper handling and eliminated the clicking and shaking I was experiencing. Unfortunately, snowy weather later destroyed my car, but up until that point, the CV axle worked great and performed exactly as expected—especially compared to the price my dealership wanted. Overall, it was a reliable replacement and an excellent value for the cost.

For anyone looking for an honest review here it is. Was hesitant to buy these because of some of the reviews. But considering how expensive some OEM ones are, I went for it and I am not disappointed. Purchased these for my 1998 Impreza Wagon. Heavy duty and best bang for your buck. Perfect fit. No issues at all. Took me 40 min each side. Can’t speak to longevity yet but in terms of physical quality and installation. It was great. 👍🏼

Well packaged. Perfect fit. Easy install took about 15 minutes. Make it easy 1, turn the steering wheel right before jacking up the car. Make it easy 2, the axle nut is 36mm get a chrome 6 point socket. The impact socket won't fit into the hub. The rental tool sockets don't fit. I bought an impact socket and learned so I ran my grinder around the bottom inch or so you won't need to remove much maybe 2mm worked fine. Make it easy 3, check the axle nut there are 2 types the thin collared one that gets bent with a punch needs a torque wrench that goes to 244ftlbs. The other nut torques to 37ftlbs first pass then another 60° second pass. Make it easy 4, crawl under and look at the spot where the axle enters the transmission so you know what a fully seated axle looks like then put a tray under it in cast some fluid leaks out Un clip the brake and ABS lines. Remove the 2 bolts in the bottom of the strut. The bolt is knurled so put the socket on the nut. Back the nut off to the end of the bolt to protect the threads and tap the bolt out the other side. Push the axle through and swing the knuckle assembly to the side and hang it with a wire to protect the hose and ABS. Pop the axle out with a pry bar "NOT LEVERAGED AGAINST THE TRANSMISSION HOUSING" pull the axle out and slide the new one in. Face the split ring gap on transmission side with the gap up. Give it a tap with a rubber mallet or a hammer and a block of wood. Look underneath to be sure it's seated. Put everything back where you found it. Lower strut bolts torque to 82ftlbs. Lug nuts with factory wheels 100ftlbs. Have fun

I use to think TRQ was a great aftermarket part, really love their videos and still have faith in them but only for certain parts. Shocks struts, brakes great, CV axel, nope garbage or just very bad quality control....not sure. But my driver CV shaft lasted a total of 500 miles after replacing it with this TRQ one. The passenger side is good still but after the driverside failure, I don't trust it and decided to just replace both sides to a more reputable brand so I don't have do the work all over again later on. If you're reading this, just avoid their CV axels, oh and their sway bar links, those are garbage too. Saying all that, I wouldn't say TRQ is a bad company (at least not yet, have to still try to deal with getting a refund on faulty parts that have already been installed) just that maybe they might be only good for the basics, brakes and suspension parts, not anything else!

It's been a year and no issues. They were alot heavier than the stock cva's, quality seemed ok, they do humming a little bit at higher speeds but for the price it works for me.

The cv axles themselves were top notch. Good quality, once installed they fit perfect. The only issue I had was the circle clips that were on the spline side of the axle. For whatever reason they made it impossible to seat the splines properly. I ended up having to remove the cirlce clip from the old axles and place them on the new ones. After that they snapped right into place as they should have.

Fit great on my 2010 Dakota big horn. Had no problem with installation. Removing the old ones took a while, but these went in great with no issues.

Perfect fit axles for my 2007 Jeep GC Srt8. TRQ is new to me, but I'm a sold customer. these axles are priced reasonable but Look, Feel and function is not. These are the third set I've had to replace on my Srt, These axles are solid all of the cv axles I've installed on 1000's of vehicles felt floppy a weird word but I cant describe it any other way, they just didn't feel well put together TQR are the first to feel like they have quality, they are solid in construction, less noise than most. You wont be sorry after you install these axles, granted you install them correctly.
