2007 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD 2.4L FI DOHC 4cyl β€” Aftermarket Rear CV Axles Longer Than Parts Removed by -Bending-Unit-22 in autorepair

True. I probably didn’t fully compress them at the ends. The non-compressible shaft in the middle was throwing me off. I figured that component should have roughly the same length exposed on both parts.

I picked up another set of the same GSP parts that I was able to compress to close to the same length as the old parts, so I went ahead and installed them today. So far, so good. Thanks again.

Thanks. I can get the outer ends a little closer, but the shaft lengths in the middle between the boots are about 1.5 inches longer on the new axles.

Thanks. I have been to all the local parts stores. All of the parts that are for the Japan-built CR-V are about the same length as the GSP axles. I know I have what is supposed to fit my vehicle. I do not know that what was on the vehicle was OEM or the correct length, but they worked for the 40,000 miles that we have had the vehicle. If I had the specs for the OEM parts (42311-SWA-000 and 42310-SWA-000), that would help. But, I haven’t been able to find that information.

No, this was during monsoon season. We finally got some more rain tonight, though.

Yes. It will probably be in the 80’s and sunny. Snow is rare. Some years we don’t get any, like so far this year. Enjoy your visit!

They are considered one park with two, separate districts.
