Rear Drive Halfshaft Component Locations









GENERAL
The rear drive halfshafts are identical in their construction with a Constant Velocity (CV) joint at each end to allow for suspension movement.

REAR DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY









Each outer CV joint has a target wheel on the outer diameter. The ABS wheel speed sensor for vehicle and wheel speed calculations uses this target.
Each rear drive halfshaft comprises two CV joints (inner and outer), boots and a solid barshaft, which is retained in the rear differential by a circlip.
The CV joints used on the rear drive halfshafts share the same design and operating principles as the front drive halfshafts CV joints (see 'Halfshaft Joint' section for more information on CV joints). Peening over the lip of the joint body retains the rear drive halfshaft inner joint hubs.
