Could it actually be true or is it just hype.

<Quote>Unlike traditional new parts, Cardone Select CV axles are designed with CSE (CARDONE Select Engineered) Technology. That's a difference only CARDONE can give you. Based on years of making top-rated remanufactured parts, Cardone has seen where—and why—new parts fail. Therefore they've built in solutions to help avoid those traditional design flaws in this new line of axles. For example, Cardone increased thread size so the thread won't break during install. And they've added bellows to boots to reduce bellow stress. They even optimized shaft diameter to eliminate shaft breakage.

 

Additional Features & Benefits:

100% Neoprene Boots for excellent Ozone resistance. - Eliminates cracking; a leading cause for failure of CV boots.

3% moly grease. - Provides excellent high temperature and extreme pressure characteristics which extends the life of the joint.

Axle nut supplied 100%. - If axle nut from the vehicle is worn or stripped there is no need to buy a separate axle nut because it is provided.

Splines rolled 100%. - Guarantees proper installation of axle into mating hub and transmission eliminating installation hassle.

Threads rolled 100%. - Guarantees proper installation of axle nut eliminating installation hassle.<Quote>

 

To good to be true for $89.99??

I'll gladly pay more if AC's (or anyone else's) is a better product.

Its the same as a stock axle, i highly doubt it is upgraded at all. Alot of those are just refurbished stock units. all in all, im sure they will work fine.

Marketing 101:

That is a correct but absolutely meaningless statement.

Moog can't offer CSE Technology, as they would have to call it MSE (Moog Select Engineered) Technology. And that would be different, because they would have to use the word Moog instead of CARDONE. Get it?

 

Marketing jargon like that is not worth the ink it is printed worth. It is very possible everybody else offers the exact same part, exactly the same. You need to do your own research to know.

your link is a reman unit, If you look up the new ones form cadone they are prolly the ones the description was intended for "unlike traditional new parts" and the new ones 100 bucks which still aint bad.

parts america prolly just slapped the desciption on all cadone axles instead of just the new ones.

I'd say try it, the new one that is, take pictures against your old one and mic the shaft diameter to see if it really is bigger.
