Axle Shafts - Rear - RAV4
DESCRIPTION
Axle shafts transfer power from transaxle to front wheels (FWD), or front and rear wheels (AWD). Axle shaft
consists of axle shaft with flexible Constant Velocity (CV) joint at each end. Rear inner CV joint is bolted to
differential and outer CV joint is splined to front or rear hub assembly.
Inner and outer CV joints are enclosed by a CV joint boot. Boot maintains lubrication in CV joint and prevents
contamination of CV lubricant. Boots must be replaced if cracked, torn or damaged. Inner CV joint can be
repaired without replacing assembly but outer CV joint must be replaced as an assembly.
