I bought both axles from rockauto. One was the cardone part# 669255. This was 6 months ago, but with the pandemic I have not driven that much, but so far so good.

Just got back from a test drive. Sound seems to be more frequent and can be repeated during straight acceleration. Next step is to drop the front driveshaft and check the splines.
Ops, camera man forgot to press record so no sound clip. More good reviews for the Cardone axles, if it’s not the driveshaft then I’ll pick up some Cardone CV-axles!

Removing the front driveshaft is rather easy. A couple diy's refer to removing the exhaust and sway bar, these steps are not necessary!
Attached below is the splines on my driveshaft. Other then a slight amount of rust they look brand new and very dry. Any grease recommendations? I'll be ordering new Cardone axles later today. Left part#: 669255 Right part#: 669256 If anyone has any other ideas what could be causing the clunking let me know, Thanks!

I put just cv-joint grease.

Grease with moly is really good for sliding. Could just use anything really as to minimize rust would be the best bet.
But its really good you caught it early on. The splines looks to be really serviceable with only a little bit of rolling on the edges.

20,000kms and the replacement Cardone axles still going strong.

Cool. Mine has all four Cardone axles. 2,000+ miles and no issues so far.

I replaced the front CV axles with TRQ parts from 1aauto.com. About 7500 miles so far. Working great. Around $110 US each side and I think they have a 10 year warranty.
I also have TRQ front wheel bearings replaced at the same time. I think they were made in Taiwan.
