Halfshaft

The rear drive halfshafts are of unequal lengths and both inner and outer joints are of the CV type.

The outer CV joints are fitted with an ABS ring which is continuously monitored by the wheel speed

sensor.

The inner and outer CV joints are linked by a solid halfshaft. The inner CV joints are retained in the

rear drive axle with the aid of a spring clip.

Handling Rear Drive Halfshafts

The following points should be observed when handling rear drive halfshafts:

•

Do not pull on the CV joints or the bar shaft.

•

Do not allow the CV joints to exceed 18 degrees of travel.

•

Check polished surfaces and splines for damage.

•

Do not allow the CV joint boots to come into contact with sharp edges, hot vehicle
components or the exhaust system.

•

Do not drop the rear drive halfshafts, this may cause damage to the splined sections of the
CV joints, the threaded sections of the CV joints or the interior of the boots which may not be
visible.

•

Do not support the rear drive halfshaft by holding the CV joint alone.

Underbody Protection and Corrosion Prevention

The CV joint boots should be covered during application of underbody protection or corrosion

prevention. Foreign matter on the CV boots may cause premature ageing of the material. Foreign

material on the rear drive halfshafts may cause imbalance.
