2009-2018 Corolla CV Axle Pair – Front Left and Right

This 2009-2018 Corolla CV axle pair is a set of two front CV axle shaft assemblies, driver side and passenger side, listed for the 2009–2018 Toyota Corolla. The left axle is listed under reference number 4342002B61 and the right under 4341002290. The right axle is a good deal longer than the left, and both use a 20-tooth input spline and a 26-tooth output spline. Easy Life Markets sells the two together for Corolla owners and workshops replacing both front axles at the same time.

The Corolla is front-wheel drive, with the engine and transaxle mounted across the car. The transaxle sits off to one side, which is why one axle is short and the other long. Each axle carries a joint at either end so the wheel can steer and the suspension can move while power is still being delivered. The joints run in grease and are sealed by flexible boots. High-mileage commuter cars often go years without anyone looking underneath, and a boot that has split unnoticed is the usual reason an axle fails. For more detail, see how a constant-velocity joint works.

What Is Included

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

Each axle comes as a complete assembly with joints and boots fitted. Axle nuts, snap rings and transaxle seals are not listed as included.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this pair for:

Toyota Corolla, 2009–2018, front left and front right

Those years span more than one Corolla generation, and the car was built with different engines and transmissions depending on the market. The axles are not the same on every version, so please check before ordering:

Find the front drive shaft part numbers for your car in a Toyota parts catalogue using your VIN, and compare them with 4342002B61 (left) and 4341002290 (right).
Count the splines on your old axles: 20 at the transaxle end and 26 at the hub end.
Measure each old axle compressed and compare with 25.4–27.4 in (left) and 36–38.3 in (right).
Note your transmission type. Manual and automatic cars can use different axles, so the part number is the safest check.

Not sure? Send us your VIN and we will help you check before you order.

Signs Your CV Axles Need Replacing

Clicking from a front wheel when turning out of a junction
Grease on the inner edge of a tyre or on the suspension arm
A boot that is torn, perished or leaking
Vibration through the steering wheel or floor when accelerating
A knock when moving off or changing between drive and reverse

Tyre balance, wheel bearings and engine mounts can cause similar symptoms, so it helps to have the front end inspected before you order parts.

Installation Tips

Loosen the axle nuts while the car is on its wheels, then raise the front and support it on stands.
Drain or be ready to catch transaxle fluid, as some will run out when an axle is removed.
Following your service manual, separate the lower ball joint and free the outer joint from the hub.
Remove each axle from the transaxle carefully to avoid damaging the oil seal.
Fit the new axles on their correct sides, seat the inner ends fully, torque all fasteners to specification, refill the fluid and road test.

If you are not used to working on suspension and drivetrain parts, have the axles fitted by a qualified mechanic.

Why Replace the Pair

Both front axles cover the same distance, so when one has worn out the other is usually on its way. Changing them together saves a second trip to the garage and keeps the front end feeling even from side to side. The 2009-2018 Corolla CV axle pair gives you the short left axle and the long right axle in one order.

Making CV Axles Last

Ask for the boots to be checked at every service. A split boot found early can often be dealt with before the joint is damaged. Keep the underside reasonably clean in winter, since road salt hardens rubber over time, and avoid flooring the throttle with the wheels turned hard.

Tools and Parts to Have Ready

You will want a large socket and breaker bar for the axle nuts, a torque wrench, a ball joint separator, a pry bar, a drain pan and axle stands. New axle nuts and transaxle oil seals are sensible to have on hand, together with the correct transaxle fluid. Before fitting, lay the old and new axles next to each other and compare the length and spline count on each side.

Who These CV Axles Are For

This pair suits owners of a 2009–2018 Toyota Corolla, independent garages and DIY mechanics who have confirmed both reference numbers, or matched the lengths and spline counts against the old axles.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Toyota part? No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under the Toyota reference numbers 4342002B61 and 4341002290. They are not genuine parts of the vehicle maker.

Why is the right axle so much longer? The transaxle is mounted towards one side of the car, so the axle on the far side has further to reach.

Can I buy just one side? This listing is for the pair only.
