Halfshaft Joint




Halfshaft Joint

The front drive halfshaft CV joints consist of the following components:

- Inner CV joints

- Outer CV joints

- CV joint boot clamps

- Convoluted CV joint boots

- Tripod joint housings

- Ball and cage housings

- Retainer circlips

- Special CV high temperature grease

The halfshaft joint allows for smooth rotation of the interconnecting shaft and the outboard housing. It also adjusts for length requirements as the vehicle goes through jounce and rebound.

The LH halfshaft inner joint is repairable. The RH shaft is serviced as an assembly only.
