The drive shaft (also called a half shaft or CV axle) transmits engine torque from the gearbox differential to the driven wheels. Each shaft has CV joints at both ends that allow the shaft to flex with suspension movement and steering angle. At CarParts247 we stock drive shafts from SKF, GKN, and Lobro.
CV joint failure is the most common drive shaft problem. The rubber boot splits first, allowing grease to escape and dirt to enter. Once contaminated, the joint wears rapidly.
If caught early, a split boot can be replaced without changing the joint. Once the joint itself is damaged, replacing the complete drive shaft is more cost-effective and reliable than rebuilding individual joints.
