Genuine Part
Genuine: Original manufacturer part. This product is the original part designed and produced by the vehicle manufacturer.
Front Axle Drive Shaft transmits torque from the front differential output to the front wheel hub, forming part of the front driveline assembly.

The shaft carries a constant velocity joint at each end - an inboard joint that accommodates suspension travel and shaft plunge at the differential, and an outboard joint that allows the wheel to be driven through the full steering lock. Each joint runs in grease behind a sealed boot; a split boot lets the grease escape and contamination in, which is the usual cause of joint wear and of the clicking under lock that follows it.

The outboard end splines into the wheel hub and is retained by the hub nut.

Frequently asked questions

What is the front axle drive shaft?
The front axle drive shaft transmits torque from the front differential output to the front wheel hub. It carries a constant velocity joint at each end: an inboard joint that absorbs suspension travel and plunge at the differential, and an outboard joint that drives the wheel through full steering lock.
Why do front drive shafts fail on these vehicles?
Front drive shaft wear usually starts with a split CV boot. Each joint runs in grease behind a sealed boot, and a split boot lets grease escape and dirt in, which wears the joint. The clicking under lock that follows is the classic sign of a worn outer CV joint.
How do I confirm this drive shaft fits?
This front drive shaft fits the Discovery Sport from 2015 (Halewood UK build to VIN KH999999) and the Range Rover Evoque L538 from 2012 (Halewood build). Use your VIN and build plant to confirm, as build point affects fitment.
