Stop Steering Vibration & Clicking – Restore Smooth Driveline Performance
This CV intermediate shaft is engineered as a direct replacement for Parts 22910264/20997748/13408581, designed specifically for Chevrolet Impala/Malibu (2006-2013, 2.5L) and Buick Regal/LaCrosse (2005-2011).

Why This Shaft Beats Generic "Universal" Parts
100% Factory Match
3D-scanned from genuine Part 22910264 to ensure identical spline count (22 teeth) and diameter (1.25") – no vibration from misalignment.
Unlike universal shafts that require welding, this installs perfectly straight with factory fitment.
Driveline-Grade Durability
Stainless steel bearings resist rust from road salt and moisture.
300°F-rated rubber boots withstand engine heat and axle flex – no more "boot splitting" failures.
Prevents common issues: steering vibration, clicking noises, and premature wheel bearing wear.
15-Minute DIY Repair
Includes pre-attached OEM clamps – simply unclamp old shaft, install new one.
Pro Tip: Disconnect battery before installation to prevent electrical shorts.
Critical Safety & Installation Notes
⚠️ ALWAYS ALLOW VEHICLE TO COOL – Hot exhaust components cause severe burns.
⚠️ Disconnect vehicle battery before starting to prevent ECM damage.
⚠️ Do not overtighten clamps (15-20 ft-lbs max) – crushes rubber boots and causes leaks.
⚠️ After installation, test at low speed – if vibration persists, verify shaft alignment.
