2009-2017 Traverse CV Axle Pair – Front Driver and Passenger Side

This 2009-2017 Traverse CV axle pair includes two front CV axle shaft assemblies, a left (driver) side and a right (passenger) side, listed for the 2009–2017 Chevrolet Traverse. The left axle is listed under reference number 15116786 and the right under 25849949. The two sides have different lengths and inner splines, and both have a 33-tooth output spline. Easy Life Markets offers the pair for Traverse owners and workshops who want to renew both front axles at the same time.

The Traverse is a front-wheel-drive-based crossover, also sold with all-wheel drive, so the front wheels are driven through two CV axles. Because the transmission sits off-centre, the left and right axles are different lengths and connect to the transmission in different ways. Each axle has a constant-velocity joint at each end, protected by a rubber boot filled with grease. When a boot tears, the grease escapes and the joint begins to click or vibrate. For more on how these joints work, see the constant-velocity joint article.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this pair for:

Chevrolet Traverse, 2009–2017, front left and front right

Axles can differ between front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions and between production periods, so please confirm before ordering:

Check both part numbers in a Chevrolet or GM parts catalogue using your VIN: 15116786 for the left and 25849949 for the right.
Check the inner ends. The left axle has a 27-tooth external spline; the right has a 27-tooth internal spline.
Measure your old axles and compare them with 27.4–29.7 in (left) and 24–26 in (right).

If you need help, contact us with your VIN before ordering.

Signs Your CV Axles Need Replacing

Clicking when turning sharply, for example when parking
Grease flung onto the inner wheel, brake parts or subframe
A torn or cracked CV boot
Vibration on acceleration that fades when coasting
A clunk when shifting or pulling away

Worn engine mounts, wheel bearings and suspension parts can make similar noises, so inspect the front end to confirm the cause.

Installation Tips

Loosen the axle nuts before lifting, then support the vehicle securely on stands.
Follow your service manual to separate the suspension parts needed to release each axle from its hub.
Remove the axles from the transmission carefully to protect the seals, and replace any worn seals.
Fit each new axle on its correct side, check it is fully seated, and tighten all fasteners to the specified torque.
Check the transmission fluid level after fitting.

Because CV axles are part of the drive and steering system, professional installation is recommended if you do not have experience with this work.

Benefits of Replacing Both Sides

A family crossover like the Traverse covers a lot of miles, and both front axles age at a similar rate. Replacing them together saves on labour, keeps the car feeling the same on both sides, and reduces the chance of a second repair later. With the 2009-2017 Traverse CV axle pair, you get the correct left and right axles in one order.

Care Tips

Inspect both boots whenever the vehicle is on a lift for tyres or brakes. A small tear caught early can often be dealt with before the joint is damaged. Avoid harsh acceleration with the steering at full lock, and have any new clicking noise checked promptly.

Tools and Parts to Have Ready

Before you start, gather a large socket and breaker bar for the axle nuts, a torque wrench, a pry bar or slide hammer to release the inner joints, and sturdy stands to support the vehicle. New axle nuts and transmission seals are worth having on hand in case your service manual calls for them. Keep a drain pan under the transmission, as some fluid may run out when an axle is removed, and have the correct fluid ready to top up afterwards. Label each old axle as you remove it so you can compare it side by side with the matching new one before fitting.

Understanding the Spline Details

The supplier lists a 27-tooth external spline on the left inner end and a 27-tooth internal (inner) spline on the right inner end, with 33 teeth at both hub ends. This difference is one of the easiest ways to confirm you have the right parts. If your old axles show different spline counts, the pair may not match your vehicle.

Who These CV Axles Are For

This pair suits owners of a 2009–2017 Chevrolet Traverse, independent workshops and DIY mechanics who have confirmed the left and right reference numbers or matching lengths and splines for their vehicle.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Chevrolet or GM part? No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under reference numbers 15116786 and 25849949. They are not genuine parts of the vehicle maker.

Are the left and right axles the same? No. They have different lengths and inner splines, which is why the pair includes one of each.
