Front Drive Halfshafts: Notes

Inboard and outboard CV joints connect to a splined shaft. Driveshaft bearing retainer circlips retain the CV joints to the splined shaft.

On the LH side, a driveshaft bearing retainer circlip retains the splined inboard CV joint to the differential side gear. Install a new circlip every time you remove the halfshaft from the vehicle.

A front axle wheel end nut secures the splined outboard CV joint to the wheel hub.

The lubed-for-life CV joints use special CV joint grease. They require no periodic lubrication.
