I know a lot of you guys have probably heard enough questions about these. My understanding is that only the OEM ones will stand up to any kind of real use, and my experiences with cheaper ones have confirmed this. I actually thought all the cheap ones were pretty much the same, but i was poking around on e-bay and see these. Cheaper shafts with a lifetime warranty.
Anyone have any experience? I need to start changing my own!

Lifetime warranty might equal installing, failing, removing, waiting on a new part, installing, failing, removing, waiting on a new part, installing, failing . . .

I had to get an O'Reilly power steering pump with a lifetime warranty once. Lasted seven days. Pulled it out and was able to replace it with OEM.

As for CV axles, never had an OEM simply fail. Boots would fail, grease would eject, but I didn't break any. Had a few failures on aftermarket ones.

TRQ is a recognizable brand. Jmho but reviews have not always been kind to this product line. Recommend read a few at the jungle store.
I personally chose Detroit Axle 86G_AXx2 and from personal experience found them okay but lacking. There on my 08 H3 gfb. I'm pleased enough if they last but as stated a part that fails and needs replacement over and over is no bargain. Not implying it will but all the same if finances permit, I'd go for acdelco oem gm.
