Axle Shafts: Description

The ES300 uses inner and outer CV joints with a center shaft on right side of vehicle. See Fig 1. The inner CV joint is a cross-groove type joint. The outer CV joint is a Rzeppa type joint. The CV joints are enclosed by CV joint boots, which maintain lubrication and prevent contaminants from entering joints.
