Product Details

This Cardone CV axle assembly is designed for Honda Pilot rear left service and follows Cardone’s engineering approach to common CV failure causes. The axle uses precision-verified shaft straightness for smoother operation, while the boot and grease package are selected to help protect the joint from contamination and heat-related wear. Part number 66-4281 is a direct-fit driveline replacement for the listed Honda Pilot applications, and it cross-references Honda 42311SZAA01 and 42311SZAA02 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Clicking or snapping noises during turns
• Grease leakage around the CV boot area
• Vibration caused by axle runout or shaft distortion
• Grinding or binding from a worn CV joint
• Driveline noise from a damaged rear left axle assembly

Installation Notes

Fits 2009-2014 Honda Pilot, rear left, and 2015 Honda Pilot, rear left. Replace the axle retaining nut with the supplied spindle nut and torque it to the manufacturer specification; do not use an impact wrench for final tightening. Do not let the axle hang unsupported during service, and inspect seals and surrounding components before installation. Part number 66-4281 uses a stake-style axle nut locking type and does not include an ABS ring.

Quality Assurance

Cardone builds this CV axle assembly using testing and engineering methods developed to meet or exceed original equipment performance targets. Each shaft is verified for straightness, and the boot and seal interfaces are designed to support long-term driveline reliability in Honda Pilot rear left applications.
