Hello all, it's my first time on the forums. I recently bought a used 2012 base model automatic Honda Fit. My Fit needs its passenger side CV Axle replaced due to a torn boot. I'm having trouble even finding the right part!

Every part catalogue I look at shows a "full length" CV axle for the passenger side that goes from the wheel hub straight into the transmission. So this is what I bought for the replacement.



What I noticed on the lift was the passenger side actually uses a center support style split CV axle, where the CV axle goes from the wheel hub into a support bearing, then a separate shaft assembly leads to the transmission. It looks like this underneath...





It is so hard to find the correct CV axle! Every part catalogue directs to the wrong style CV axle. I need the shorter style with a female end that will connect to the support bearing. Here is the Diagram from Honda...



The correct part is #4 on the diagram and Honda wants anywhere from $500-$700 for the axle! Has anyone else experienced trouble finding the correct axle? Any idea where I can find it and be sure it's the correct one?

Thanks

its

cv - intermediate shaft - cv

 

I'm not looking for the intermediate shaft, I need the CV axle with the female end that fits onto the intermediate shaft.

 

mine were sold as a set, with the spline ends on both ends... not quite sure what you need with a female end..

 

If all that is wrong is a torn boot, what is wrong with item 3 or item 4?

 

Hey Texas, which part did you end up ordering? I am in the same position as you.
