My apologies. I&#039;ve also heard this myself. Some of the Obosi sellers will sell you a used aftermarket in the name of a used OEM. Have had the experience.
It&#039;s difficult really. You may need to bite the bullet and get a new OEM (Ouch with the current dollar exchange rate) or get someone from Lagos who can supply a good tokunbo one. Hope you use the correct grease for assembly? There&#039;s CV joint grease which is molybdenum disulphide-fortified and helps reduce the wear on the joint. This may not be the cause of your frequent wear but its good to use the specialized grease for better longevity. Hope you find a good part soon!]]></description>

Having problems with inner cv joint, when i change it vibration stops only to re occur about a month of driving. Have bought countless inner cv joints (driver&#039;s side) also bought complete axke about 3 times and the problem keeps reoccurring. When changed it&#039;ll stop the vibrations then it&#039;ll occur later, honfa forums complain about this problem when the buy aftermarket esp autozones and problem stopped when they bought oem. Someone even changed his about 5 times before realizing that aftermarket market were crap, since obosi sells second hand axle, one wouldn&#039;t know whether its those useless autozones that they sell as tokumbo. Am hoping I&#039;ll be lucky one day]]></description>

Hi Namzy, do these vibrations occur with acceleration and subside when cruising?
Where you would go for a used OEM would depend on where you are based in the country. Also do source it from those that don&#039;t sell poorly rebuilt ones. Haven&#039;t had any axle problems so can&#039;t say I know any high-end aftermarket brand available locally. 
I was surprised to find genuine NTN wheel bearings but they came at a high cost at the time (like 2-3 times other aftermarket) but has done 2years or so.
Hope this helps]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[These are great tips for buying good used car parts. Getting used car parts can save a ton of money if you get ones that are in good condition. There are also places that sell new parts at discounted prices, which is sometimes safer than buying used parts. Thank you for sharing!]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.diyautoworksng.com/tips-for-buying-good-used-car-parts-for-diy-repairs/#comment-107&quot;&gt;Stec&lt;/a&gt;.

Hello Stec and thanks for following. The basic principles for buying good used parts for the above listed parts still apply. I believe there should be good used car parts markets at your location or at least close to your base. My advice is to take the old part along as you go in search of the replacement part. Some dealers may want to sell you a part that is not an exact match. If you don&#039;t feel confident identifying a good used part you may also go along with a good mechanic. They can help you identify signs that a reworked part.
But if I may ask, have you proven beyond all reasonable doubt that the above listed are the culprits?
I happen to have a contact that I can send across to you by private email who deals on OEM Toyota parts both new and used.]]></description>
