Chevy Colorado Axle Shafts & Parts

Available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the Chevy Colorado has a reliable driveline system that includes a driveshaft, one or two differentials, and axles directly connecting to the wheel hubs. Besides the shaft, an axle assembly includes two joints enabling the wheel to move vertically on road irregularities. In order to provide better suspension articulation and smoother operation, automakers prefer CV joints to their simpler U-shaped counterparts, but there are certain nuances related to their servicing. All CV joints have to be well-lubed and reliably protected from water, sand, and dirt.

In order to ensure that, their rubber boots should always be in good condition, and regular visual inspection is the best way to check them and replace damaged boots timely. If you keep on driving with a torn boot, the inner grease will quickly leak out, and the whole assembly will fail very soon because of dirt, abrasion, and corrosion. There are two types of CV joints, ball- and tripod-style ones, and both of them are durable enough but can't withstand dirt when they remain uncovered. On our digital shelves, you will find a wide range of Chevy Colorado axles that meet the highest requirements.
