In this episode of Shop Owner Solutions, Doug Kaufman interviews Miguel Cornejo from TrakMotive about the increasing issues with CV axle failures, especially in lifted Toyota and Subaru vehicles. They discuss how lifting these vehicles changes the undercar geometry, leading to increased stress and premature wear on CV joints and boots. Cornejo explains that many customers experience clicking or popping sounds and grease leaks after lifting their vehicles.

The conversation emphasizes the importance of educating technicians and DIYers about these potential problems and recommends upgrading to application-specific CV axles designed for lifted vehicles, like TrakMotive's XTT line, which compensates for the altered angles. They also touch on the significance of considering motor mount durability, especially in Subarus with horizontally opposed engines, where vibrations can exacerbate CV axle issues. Miguel encourages listeners to visit the TrakMotive website for specific problem-solving resources and to contact their tech department with any questions.
