GENERAL
The front drive shafts are handed components with the RH drive
shaft being longer than the LH drive shaft. Both shafts are of similar
construction with Constant Velocity (CV) joints at each end to allow for
steering and suspension movement.

The front drive shafts are
similar in their construction. The only difference is the lengths of each shaft,
the LH drive shaft is a longer shaft with an extended stem.
The outer CV
joints have a target wheel on the outer diameter. This is used by the ABS wheel
speed sensor for vehicle and wheel speed calculations.
Each drive shaft
comprises two CV joints (inner and outer), boots, an outer tube and a solid
barshaft, which is retained in the front differential by a circlip (see
'Halfshaft Joint' section for more information on CV joints).
