Rear Drive Halfshafts Component Description

The solid-steel halfshafts are of unequal length, with each halfshaft comprising inner and outer CV (constant velocity) joints.
The CV joints are the 'ball and socket' type packed with grease and protected by gaiters.

The outer CV joint is an interference fit into the wheel hub and secured by a locking nut. The inner CV joint is a slide fit and is
retained in the differential with a spring clip.
