Front Left CV Axle Shaft Assembly

Front-left, driver-side CV axle shaft assembly for listed Acura EL, Honda Civic, CRX, and Civic del Sol applications.

Critical fitment warning: The fitment list spans multiple vehicle generations and does not specify engine size or code, automatic or manual transmission, trim, body style, ABS configuration, production date, inner and outer spline counts, compressed length, seal-surface diameter, inboard joint design, or intermediate-shaft connection. Confirm the VIN, front-left position, engine, transmission, original axle number, spline counts, compressed length, ABS tone-ring or encoder design, seal surface, and inner-joint configuration before ordering. Do not rely on model year alone.

Installation Notes

CV axle replacement affects steering, suspension, wheel-bearing retention, and transmission sealing; professional installation is strongly recommended. Compare the replacement with the original before installation, including overall and compressed length, inner and outer spline counts, joint and seal-surface diameters, ABS configuration, and inboard connection. Inspect the wheel bearing and hub, ball joint, control arms, tie-rod end, transmission seals, and engine/transmission mounts. Use a new axle nut or retaining hardware where required, follow Acura or Honda torque specifications, refill any lost transmission fluid with the specified type, and check for leaks. Do not allow vehicle weight to rest on the wheel bearing while the axle is loose. Complete an alignment check if suspension geometry was disturbed.
