Front Drive Halfshafts




Front Drive Halfshafts

The halfshafts and intermediate shaft consists of the following components:

- Inner CV joints

- Outer CV joints

- A support bearing on the intermediate shaft

The RH shaft is serviced as an assembly only. The LH shaft inner CV joint is serviceable.

The front drive halfshafts are splined to drive the front wheel hubs. The LH halfshaft uses a circlip to retain the inner CV joint stub shaft in the differential side gear. The RH halfshaft is connected to an intermediate shaft with a circlip. The intermediate shaft is also driven by a differential side gear.
