I recently installed the TRQ Front Left CV Axle Shaft Assembly on my 2015 Infiniti Q50, and overall, it's been a solid replacement. The part arrived well-packaged and looked even sturdier than my original axle—no cheap, flimsy materials here.
The installation was straightforward (if you’ve done this before). It slid right into place without any forced adjustments, and the fit was spot-on. No weird vibrations or noises during test drives, which is always a relief. The thick boots on the joints gave me confidence they’d last longer than some bargain-bin alternatives.
That said, I noticed a few reviews mentioning fitment quirks—like one user’s BMW driveshaft being slightly too short, causing wobbles after suspension work. So, lesson learned: double-check your OEM specs before ordering. For my Q50, though? Perfect match.
One pro tip: If you’re tackling this job yourself (especially on certain models like the Dodge Journey), inspect the intermediate shaft bearing *before* starting. A few reviewers got burned by overlooking it and had to pause repairs mid-job. Squeaks during wheel rotation? Investigate further!
Minor gripes aside, TRQ’s 2-year warranty is reassuring for peace of mind. Just remember: labor isn’t covered, so DIY or budget for a mechanic. For the price? This axle delivers OEM-level quality without the dealership markup—as long as you verify fitment down to the millimeter.
