Product Details

This axle shaft is engineered for front left placement and matches the listed OE AAR design or updated design requirements for the covered Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models. The inboard joint uses a male spline connection, while the outboard joint uses a conventional spline connection for direct driveline engagement.

Common Repair Uses

• Restores driveline transfer when a worn axle shaft causes vibration or clicking
• Addresses torn or damaged CV boots that can lead to grease loss and joint wear
• Replaces a noisy or binding front left axle assembly
• Helps correct axle-related shudder during acceleration or turning
• Supports repair of spline wear at the inboard or outboard connection points

Installation Notes

Verify front left fitment by year, make, model, and OE design before installation. Confirm axle nut thread size, hex size, and compressed length against the original part. Because ABS tone ring is not included, check the vehicle’s ABS configuration and transfer any required sensor-related components as needed for the application. Use proper torque procedures and inspect seals, hubs, and mating components during service.
