04-08 FXT A1 Cardone HD axles. Smooth yet satisfying

Hey!... Welcome to this week's #modmonday ! After many questions about how these axles I installed it seemed fitting to do a proper review. These are @cardoneindustries A1 cardone HD axles for 03-08 Foresters, they have been installed for the last year plus without any issues.

With a more durable neoprene boot design these should outlast any other offerings. Cardone A1 axle

Obviously lifting a Subaru isn't without it's side effects... The most common appears to be shaking/vibration during acceleration. Many aftermarket axles either make it worse or have very little positive effect on the issue.  

Lifting your Subaru has it’s benefits but some items definitely need beefy up if you are going to use it.

I personally ran through 9 different axles trying to find an answer to my problem. I even thought of taking out the lift plates after struggle with this issue over the last year. After speaking of my issues ADF commented that A1 Cardone axles were the way to go and I should give them a go. And I have been very content every since. 

New axle ready for a less than easy life.

The quality of these Cv axles are top notch. I had no issues with length or axle threads or splines. They have higher quality thermoplastic boots that have better protection from heat and more puncture resistance over standard neoprene boots. It's the little details that make these stand a part from the rest. The amazon listing also includes all these details to help show you what puts them above the rest.

I purchased these online but they can also be sourced from Napa under the name Napa Max Drive. I have been nothing but pleased with these and will continue to drive them for further longevity.

Happy at home with the rest of the insanity of my Forester.

After having these installed for awhile I found a some very interesting information out about Subaru remanufactured axles.. Cardone A1 is the company that puts them together for Subaru. With this thought process I can only guess that their own HD offerings are of the highest quality parts.
