Anyone use CV Source to rebuild their axle / drive shafts?

CV Source has earned a solid reputation on several other forums for rebuilding older Mercedes drive shafts like the Weiss axles on my W115.

I was wondering if anyone had theirs rebuilt by them? They appear to have written the book on these components.

This is the place I've seen getting recommendations from the crowd here. https://www.cvjreman.com/about-cvj-axles/

That’s where I had mine rebuilt. No probs yet after 3 yrs. Build quality looked pretty good. Only way you get a dud is if you receive a rebuilt “China” axle. Occasionally people submit them as cores and they accidentally get rebuilt. If you got OEM ones now, just send’em in and have them rebuild those. I had CVJ rebuild an uncommon Volvo axle as well. Hasn’t blown up yet

I'll throw in my 2-cents and vouch for CVJ as well. I sent CVJ both front axles from my w210 4-matic wagon. They had a prompt turnaround time, fair pricing, and the axles have performed flawlessly for the past two years. Of course, YMMV - but my experience has been very satisfactory.
