Part Description
This rear drive shaft was removed from a 2011 Hyundai Santa Fe equipped with a 2.4L engine and automatic transmission. The driveshaft has been thoroughly inspected by our certified technicians and is currently on the shelf ready to ship. All CV joints, boots, and mounting hardware are in good working condition.
The rear drive shaft transfers power from the transmission to the rear differential in all-wheel drive Santa Fe models. Common reasons for replacement include worn CV joints, torn boots allowing contamination, vibration during acceleration, or accident damage. A failing driveshaft can cause clicking noises, vibration, or complete loss of power to the rear wheels.
