2005-2006 Odyssey CV Axle Pair – Front Driver and Passenger Side

This 2005-2006 Odyssey CV axle pair gives you both front CV axle shaft assemblies, left and right, listed for the 2005–2006 Honda Odyssey. The left axle is listed under reference number 44306SHJA01 and the right under 44305SHJA01. The two are close in length but not interchangeable: the left has 29 external teeth at its inner end, while the right has a 29-tooth internal spline that slides over a shaft. Both have 30 teeth at the hub end. Easy Life Markets sells the pair for Odyssey owners and garages who want to deal with both front axles in one go.

The Odyssey is a front-wheel-drive minivan, so every bit of engine power reaches the road through these two axles. Each one has a joint at the wheel end that allows steering and a joint at the inner end that takes up suspension movement. Both joints are packed with grease and covered by flexible boots. A family van spends a lot of time loaded with people and luggage and making tight turns in car parks, and that is steady work for the joints. Once a boot splits and the grease escapes, the joint wears fast. There is a good explanation of the constant-velocity joint if you want the background.

What Is Included

1 x front left (driver side) CV axle shaft assembly
1 x front right (passenger side) CV axle shaft assembly

Both axles arrive assembled, with joints and boots fitted. Axle nuts, set rings and seals are not listed as included. The intermediate shaft that the right axle connects to is a separate part and is not part of this set.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this pair for:

Honda Odyssey, 2005–2006, front left and front right

Note that the listing covers two model years only. Later Odyssey years are not listed, so please do not assume this set carries over. Before you order:

Look up both driveshaft part numbers for your van in a Honda parts catalogue with your VIN, and compare them with 44306SHJA01 (left) and 44305SHJA01 (right).
Check the inner ends. The left axle should have 29 external teeth. The right should have an internal spline that fits over the intermediate shaft.
Count the hub-end splines: 30 teeth on each side.
Measure the old axles and compare them with 27.6–29.6 in (left) and 27–29 in (right).

If something does not match, send us your VIN and we will help you check before you buy.

Signs Your CV Axles Need Replacing

A rhythmic clicking when pulling away on full steering lock
Dark grease sprayed on the inside of a front wheel
A boot that is cracked, split or has slipped off its clamp
A shudder through the floor under acceleration
A clunk when you shift between drive and reverse

Engine mounts, wheel bearings and lower ball joints can produce similar symptoms on a van of this age, so check them at the same time.

Installation Tips

Loosen the spindle nuts with the wheels on the ground, then raise the front and support it on stands.
Follow your service manual to separate the lower ball joint and swing the knuckle out far enough to free the outer joint.
Pry the left axle out of the transmission carefully, and slide the right axle off the intermediate shaft.
Fit each new axle on its correct side, make sure the inner end is fully seated, and torque everything to specification.
Top up the transmission fluid if any was lost, then road test.

This is steering and suspension work. If you have not done it before, ask a qualified mechanic to fit the axles.

Why Fit Both Axles at Once

Both axles on your Odyssey have done the same mileage in the same conditions, so when one is clicking the other is rarely far behind. Much of the labour is in taking the front suspension apart, and doing both sides in one visit avoids paying for that twice. The 2005-2006 Odyssey CV axle pair brings the correct left and right parts together, so you are not hunting for the second side later.

Getting the Most From New Axles

Have the boots checked whenever the van is on a lift for an oil change or tyre rotation. A small tear caught early costs very little to deal with. Try not to accelerate hard with the steering turned fully, and keep an eye on worn engine mounts, since excess engine movement puts extra load on the inner joints.

Tools and Parts to Have Ready

A large socket and breaker bar for the spindle nuts, a torque wrench, a ball joint separator, a pry bar and axle stands cover most of the job. Fresh spindle nuts and set rings are worth having, along with the correct transmission fluid and a drain pan. Compare each new axle against the old one on the bench before you fit it, paying attention to the inner ends, because the left and right are easy to tell apart once you look at the splines.

Who These CV Axles Are For

This pair suits owners of a 2005 or 2006 Honda Odyssey, independent garages and DIY mechanics who have confirmed both reference numbers or matched the lengths and splines against the old axles.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Honda part? No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under the Honda reference numbers 44306SHJA01 and 44305SHJA01. They are not genuine parts of the vehicle maker.

Does the pair include the intermediate shaft? No. It is not listed as included.

Will it fit a 2007 or later Odyssey? The supplier only lists 2005 and 2006. Check the part numbers for your van before ordering.
