2010-2017 Equinox CV Axle Pair – Front Left and Right

This 2010-2017 Equinox CV axle pair contains two front CV axle shaft assemblies, one for the driver side and one for the passenger side, listed for the 2010–2017 Chevrolet Equinox. The left axle is listed under reference number 20881990 and the right under 20906475. The sides differ in length and inner spline count, and both have a 30-tooth output spline. Easy Life Markets sells the pair so Equinox owners and repair shops can replace both front axles in one visit.

The Equinox is a compact crossover sold with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive, and in both cases the front wheels are driven through CV axles. The left and right axles are not the same, because the transmission is mounted to one side. Each axle has two constant-velocity joints that allow smooth power delivery while the suspension moves and the wheels steer. Grease-filled boots protect the joints. Once a boot splits, road dirt and water get in and the joint wears out, usually announcing itself with a clicking noise on turns. The constant-velocity joint article gives more background.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this pair for:

Chevrolet Equinox, 2010–2017, front left and front right

The Equinox was offered with more than one engine and with front-wheel or all-wheel drive during these years, and the axles are not identical across every version. Please confirm fit before ordering:

Look up both part numbers in a Chevrolet or GM parts catalogue with your VIN and compare them with 20881990 (left) and 20906475 (right).
Count the inner splines on your old axles: 34 on the left and 27 on the right, with 30 at each hub end.
Measure each axle compressed and compare it with 26.6–28.8 in (left) and 22.5–24.6 in (right).

If any detail does not match, please contact us with your VIN before you buy.

Signs Your CV Axles Need Replacing

A repeated clicking noise when turning at low speed
Grease marks on the inside of the wheel or on the suspension
Split, cracked or loose boots
Shaking or vibration when accelerating
A knock from the front when shifting between drive and reverse

Similar symptoms can come from worn wheel bearings, engine mounts or control arm bushings, so check the front end before replacing parts.

Installation Tips

Loosen the axle nuts with the wheels on the ground, then support the vehicle securely on stands.
Following your service manual, separate the parts needed to release each axle from its hub.
Remove each axle from the transmission or intermediate shaft carefully so seals are not damaged.
Install the new axles on their correct sides, ensure the inner ends are fully seated, and torque all fasteners to specification.
Check the transmission fluid level and road test.

Professional installation is recommended for anyone not experienced with steering, suspension and drivetrain repairs.

Why Buy the Axles as a Pair

When one front axle wears out, the other has usually covered the same mileage and conditions. Fitting both at once means a single labour charge and even handling from side to side. The 2010-2017 Equinox CV axle pair supplies the correct left and right axles together, so there is no need to order each side separately.

Keeping CV Joints in Good Shape

Check the boots for splits whenever the car is raised for service. Clean off road salt and mud from underneath in winter, and avoid heavy throttle while turning at full lock. Early attention to a small boot tear is far cheaper than replacing a worn joint.

Tools and Parts to Have Ready

Gather a large socket and breaker bar for the axle nuts, a torque wrench, a pry bar or axle removal tool for the inner joints, and sturdy stands. New axle nuts and seals are sensible spares if your service manual calls for them. Place a drain pan under the transmission, since some fluid may escape when an axle comes out, and have the correct fluid ready for topping up. Labelling each old axle as you remove it makes it easy to compare lengths and splines with the new ones before installation.

Understanding the Spline Details

The supplier lists 34 teeth on the left inner end and 27 teeth on the right inner end, with 30 teeth at both hub ends. Counting the splines on your old axles is a quick way to confirm the match before you fit anything.

Who These CV Axles Are For

This pair suits owners of a 2010–2017 Chevrolet Equinox, independent garages and DIY mechanics who have confirmed the left and right reference numbers or matching lengths and spline counts.

Common Questions

Is this a genuine Chevrolet or GM part? No. These are unbranded aftermarket CV axles listed under reference numbers 20881990 and 20906475. They are not genuine parts of the vehicle maker.

Why are the two axles different? The transmission sits to one side, so the left and right axles need different lengths and inner splines.
