RCV Performance Axles & CV Joints





RCV Performance Products is a part of Aircraft Gear Corp., a family-owned and managed company with several divisions that have been designing, manufacturing, and marketing aerospace and automotive drivetrain parts and systems in the U.S. for over six decades now. The company has a solution for any requirement and application, even for vehicles with serious power and big tires. RCV axle shafts need very little maintenance and can operate with a distinct smoothness that you will easily be able to feel, whether on the street or off-road.

The experts at RCV Performance use their extensive engineering and manufacturing experience to design and produce CV axles and many other high-performance driveline products for the automotive industry. RCV primarily focuses on several patented CV Axle conversions and IFS axle shafts for the off-road industry. The company offers a range of "off-the-shelf" solutions as much as caters to different custom application projects. RCV axles are tried and tested to be twice as tough as OEM products.

When operating at a certain angle, the actual geometry of a U-joint is such that the velocity of the axle shaft increases and decreases alternatively four times once in every revolution. When you turn the steering wheel, the working angle of the U-joint becomes tighter, and the speed variance of the shaft increases. This condition can most definitely be felt through the steering wheel in forms of various oscillations, and is often called the “crow-hop” or “knuckle-bing”. RCV Performance Products axles eliminate that. The company’s revolutionary axle shaft constructions offer the strength, smoothness of operation, and reliability you will need to use your vehicle for the most demanding off-road applications.

RCV Performance engineers are proud to have their products regarded as "revolutionary" by various experts in the off-road industry. The company’s CV axles replace the already-existing u-joint axle shafts and are manufactured in a variety of configurations to fit most independent front suspensions. The reputable strength and performance of their products just cannot be matched. With the progressions in horsepower outputs and tire size in the industry, RCV has answered the requirements and offered the strongest solutions.

Novice Boot
Made of high-strength elastic plastic, more resistant to cuts and punctures than a conventional rubber boot. Unlike U-joints that must be lubed almost every time you go out, RCV Performance CV axles only need grease a couple times a year, and are easily serviced. So my option was predicted and inevitable. CARiD delivered the thing timely, well, I’ve used the service a few times before and always a success, thanks!

RCV Performance Axle Set
Expensive, but I was not afraid of buying as CARiD stand behind what they sell if it doesn't fit they tell the manufacturer and take it back, thank you. So I ordered this RCV Performance® CVJIFS-GM2535 - ultimate CV axle set with no u-joint caps or clips to break. Moreover, the increased working angle up to 45 degrees allows you to overcome very large obstacles. Just what I needed for my GMC Sierra .
