Hyundai 49500-F3000 Shaft Assembly-Drive,LH

The inner ends of the driveaxles are equipped with sliding constant velocity joints that allow both angular and axial motion. Automatic transaxle models and 2013 and later manual transaxle models use a "tri-pot" inner joint, while 2006 and earlier manual transaxle models use a "ball-and-cage" type inner joint. These inner joints can be disassembled and cleaned in the event of a boot failure, but if any parts are damaged, the joints must be replaced as a unit.

Support the outer end of the driveaxle with a piece of wire to avoid unnecessary strain on the inner CV joint.
