Hyundai 49581-3Y100 Joint & Shaft Kit-Front Axle W

Raise the driveaxle into position while supporting the CV joints, ensuring the spring clip opening faces up to ease insertion and prevent damage.

The outer CV joints are of the "ball-and-cage" type, which have ball bearings running between an inner and outer race. These joints allow angular but not axial movement. The outer joints should be cleaned, inspected, and repacked when replacing the boot, but they cannot be disassembled. If an outer joint is damaged, it must be replaced along with the axleshaft, as they are sold as a single component.
