Hi guys,

I had the Eibach springs installed soon after I purchased my used 2016 DS with approx 50k miles.

Since then, I’m on my third left front CV axle in less than a year.

Has anyone had similar issues? Or conversely, has anyone put a lot of miles on the lift without having any axle problems?

thanks for your experiences, I’m hoping I dont have to take the springs back out.

Looks like the lift has put extra strain on other parts of the suspension , not designed for a modification.

Thanks for the quick reply, but I’m not sure how to take your response. Are you trying to say that you have personal experience in this area or was that a casual opinion?

 

[Bill F]

Sort of casual. But if you modify the car and then start having problems it seems logical that your mod may have have been the primary cause. Or that you have been buying replacement parts that have faied 3 times.

 

[Discofendersport]

That’s certainly a possibility, but since the car was bought used I don’t have a valid baseline to know if it had CV problems before the lift.

The only other thing I could think of that would cause that would be poor quality replacement parts. If you haven't been buying new OEM axle shafts, try that.

My 2019 HSE was lifted with the Eibach springs two years ago and since then it's been on road, off road, on muddy and dry forest trails, and on beach runs, and there's not been a problem. I think your problem is somewhere other than the Eibach springs.

 

[Discofendersport]

That’s good to know. Anyone else have good or bad experiences with CV axles and Eibach lifts?

I have an MY16 DS with Eibach springs fitted. They have done over 100K KM and 5+ years on; no issue whatsoever.
