Aftermarket cheap axles are generally crap but I suppose there are exceptions . How do you find the exceptions ??? My opinion buy a used set of OEM axles and go through them with a good cleaning and greasing . Install new boots and you are good to go .

There is a CV axle rebuild shop about an hour from me . I happened to be in the area about two months ago so I stopped in . I spoke with the owner and he said they only will rebuild OEM axles . He doesn't touch anything aftermarket he said they are all Chinese garbage . He said it is getting harder to get good quality boots , many are going cheaper and that affects durability to flex and heat cycles .

For a Boxster wrapping the exhaust with heat wrap can help the boots live longer.
