Driveshaft. Porsche 986 Boxster 1999-02 with 5-Speed Manual cars  ❭  9863320245

Replacement driveshaft.
Rear axle drive shafts (also called CV axle assemblies) are crucial drivetrain components that transfer engine torque from the differential to the rear wheels while accommodating suspension movement. They consist of a solid shaft with constant velocity (CV) joints at both ends, which allow smooth power delivery through changing angles and suspension travel.

These rear axle drive shafts transfer engine torque from the differential to the rear wheels, allowing the vehicle to move efficiently. Their constant-velocity joints accommodate suspension movement and articulation, ensuring smooth, consistent power delivery during acceleration and cornering. By maintaining balanced torque distribution between both sides, they help preserve stable, predictable handling. When axles wear or fail, symptoms such as vibration, clunking noises, uneven acceleration, or loss of drive can occur.

CV axle assemblies endure constant rotational forces and movement. Over time, CV boots can split, joints can wear, and grease can escape, leading to accelerated wear and eventual failure. A worn axle may present:
•  Clicking or popping sounds when turning
•  Vibrations under acceleration
•  Grease around the CV boot area
•  Clunking or loss of smooth power delivery.
Replacing worn or damaged axles with OE Match assemblies restores correct torque transfer, eliminates driveline noise and vibration, and helps maintain safe and predictable driving behaviour.

Consider replacing these axles if you notice:
•  Clicking/popping noises while cornering
•  Vibration at speed or under load
•  Torn or leaking CV boots
•  Loose feeling in the rear drivetrain
•  Preventive replacement during larger drivetrain or differential service
