Product Details

Cardone engineers its CV drive axles to address common failure points found in original units. Neoprene boots use additional bellows where needed to reduce stress and ozone cracking, while the axle shafts are individually checked for straightness to support smooth, vibration-free operation at speed. High-temperature grease and pneumatically crimped boot clamps help maintain a secure seal and consistent joint protection. This part cross-references Chevrolet 22710927 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the axle boot or chassis
• Front-end vibration during acceleration
• Grinding noise from the front axle area
• ABS warning light after axle replacement when the sensor ring is damaged or missing

Installation Notes

• Fits 2006-2011 Chevrolet HHR, front left.
• Do not let the CV axle hang unsupported during service; this can damage the inner joint.
• Use a torque wrench on the retaining nut and tighten to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification.
• Do not reuse the prevailing-torque lock nut; install the supplied new nut.
• Replace transaxle seals when servicing CV axle assemblies to help prevent leaks.
• If the ABS light remains on after installation, inspect the sensor ring, sensor, and nearby wiring for damage.

Quality Assurance

Cardone’s CV axle engineering is based on testing and remanufacturing experience focused on OE-level performance and repeat-failure prevention. Each shaft is verified for straightness to help reduce runout-related vibration, and the boot and seal design is built to support long service life in driveline use.
