New Driveshaft For Honda CR-V 4WD 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 - BuyAutoParts 91-00162N New

This driveshaft worked out perfectly !!!! No defects, easy install and not cheap

The driveline fit perfectly and is working great. No problem. It was shipped very securely and received it as promised.

So far, this new drive shaft is working smoothly. Installation was a breeze thanks to the clear instructions in my repair manual (NOT included with the drive shaft; purchased separately.) In fact, removal of the old drive shaft, destroyed when the front u-joint sheared off, was far more difficult than the replacement! Economical and convenient.NB. There is nothing I read in the description of this product that stated that, unlike the original Honda part, the u-joints are replaceable. Anyone who has had a u- joint snap in his or her 1997-2001 Honda CRV knows that the u-joint is staked in and extremely difficult to replace, so the entire drive shaft must be replaced. This OEM replacement shaft has u-joints that are replaceable, allowing more options should a similar problem occur.

Fit my 98 Crv like a glove. I drive it like I stole it (just my daily) rain, snow I’m ready for w.e my real time awd is right back working.

2001 Honda CR-V AWDCar vibrated pretty badly from 35-45 MPH. I thought it was my tires. Then, the driveshaft broke. I ordered this driveshaft while waiting for the tow truck. When I got home, I removed the old broken drive shaft. It literally took 20 minutes to take it off. I drove the CR-V with just FWD for 3 days. Smooth as butter. The new driveshaft arrived on my door step on the 3rd day later around 3PM. I had it installed on my car by 5 PM. The bolt holes lined up perfectly.The only thing a tiny bit off are the ends of the driveshaft (I don't know the name for the parts that pivot at the ends). The knuckles? at the pivots are a touch larger than the original. I could not use my ratcheting 10mm closed end wrench on the 12 point bolts. I had to use a regular closed 12 point wrench. I also could not use my torque wrench to tighten down to 24 ft/lbs (recommended spec, I think). Again, my extension could not fit past the knuckles at the pivots. I just cave manned it tight. I will check the bolts tomorrow to make sure they are still tight.Overall, I am very satisfied with the product. With the new driveshaft on, I can barely detect a very slight hum as compared to driving the car FWD. I will update this review if I encounter any surprise early issues. Otherwise, it means the product is functioning as designed.

So I did a lot of looking around for my 2001 Honda crv awd and I was getting told it could not be repaired and that it is discontinued from Honda parts online. I did find one at a pull a part in town however they wanted 108.00 for it, I looked at all the other options out there and this one had the most reviews and people had been happy with the purchase. So I went for it. I ordered it on a Friday and it was to show up on Wed however it showed up on Monday!!!!! I did have to go buy a STAR 10mm socket to remove the old one. I thought it came with new hardware however it did not. that is ok the old ones worked just fine. over all I am happy about the craftsmanship of the drive train it is solid and I was able to bolt it right in no issues other then being under a car. I would recommend this purchase and I look to buy more from this seller as well!

My 1997 Honda CRV AWD had a "shudder" or "vibration during acceleration up to about 35 MPH through 45 MPH. Before committing to replacing the drive-line I removed one end to inspect the u-joints to see if they were locked up or frozen, and yes as I suspected both front and rear u-joints were frozen in one direction. I called a local drive-line shop for a price on a refurbished drive-line $600 with a core...& $800 without a core..GEEZ your r kidding me. So this makes it bargain here for this drive-line. U-joints are replaceable, ( as the original drive-line does not have serviceable u-joints) and all C-clips have small paint marks on them indicating someone did a QC on the parts, which is a great sign of quality, and very nice new black paint. Also the thick cardboard box it came in was very sturdy and packaged VERY well. Great part so far. Just FYI to anyone chasing a vibration issue on your first gen CRV, my vehicle had two problems, both front CV shaft axles had to be replaced also. So my CRV had two major issues creating an acceleration vibration problem, the drive-line with frozen u-joints and both front CV shaft axles with bearing knuckle issues, Replacing all three components remedied ALL of the vibration I was experiencing.

Hi. 1997 Honda CRV. 237,000 miles. Original driveshaft front u-joint broke. Ordered this shaft and was identical to original basically. Maybe even slightly beefier. Perfect fit. The car is running as smooth as when we first got her. Very pleased. Part arrived quickly and on time and was packaged well. (Approximately 1000 miles on new shaft at this review.)p.s. the actual r & r was simple and relatively easy. No problems.
