CV Axle Failure after 8.6K Miles?
I drive a 2019 Toyota 86 TRD SE. I haven't even hit 10k miles but I am already hearing a clunking noise from the back which I assume is the CV joint from the axle because it follows the rhythm of the car speeding up. I do track it at the Nürburgring and have done 6 laps of the north loop and 1 session at the GP track. Is that enough for the axle to break at less thank 9K miles? I'm going to try to have it replaced under warranty but I know that's no guarantee, but maybe German dealerships are different. Anyone else have problems with the axle breaking that early?

I would talk to the guys at Apex as they have a lot of experience with this platform on the ring.
Also which side of the car did the axle fail on? I believe it is the left side where the exhaust comes quite close to the cv boot and has been a known failure point. |

I was going to hit them up and talk to them about their 86. I have lots of questions, especially since they don't run an oil cooler. And I believe right side. I haven't had a chance to get it on a lift yet but the sound appears to be right side but mine is a dual exhaust |

It follows the rhythm of the car speeding up but does it vary with load? CV axles typically won't behave badly when they aren't loaded.

Pretty strange to loose a CV that quickly. I have over 90K miles on my car, tons of track days, very low on coilovers. I just replaced my original CV's, but they didn't need swapped.
