The rear CV axle assembly transmits engine torque from the rear differential to the rear wheel hub, enabling the vehicle to accelerate and maintain traction. It incorporates constant-velocity (CV) joints that allow for smooth power delivery through suspension movement and varying road conditions.

Function:  Installed between the transmission/differential output and the wheel hub, the driveshaft rotates to deliver torque while accommodating suspension travel and articulation. The CV joints at each end ensure consistent rotational speed and minimal vibration, helping maintain vehicle stability, traction, and handling precision.

•  Sold As: Single axle assembly
•  Qty Required: Typically 2 axles per vehicle (one left, one right) for complete rear replacement

A worn or damaged driveshaft can lead to:
•  Vibration or shimmy during acceleration
•   Clicking or popping noises in turns
•   Grease leakage from CV boot failure
•   Loss of smooth torque delivery.

Replacing a compromised axle with a Genuine Porsche assembly maintains proper torque distribution, drivetrain balance, and the refined driving experience Porsche engineers intended.

When to replace. Consider replacing this drive axle if you notice any of the following:
•  Persistent vibration under load
•  Loud noise from the rear under acceleration or braking
•  Visible CV boot damage or grease loss
•  Excessive play at the wheel or joint
•  During differential, transmission, or rear suspension work

The rear CV axle transfers engine torque from the gearbox/differential to the rear wheels while accommodating suspension movement via constant-velocity (CV) joints. The OE Match version delivers smooth power transfer and reliable operation under everyday driving conditions.

Function: Installed between the differential output and the wheel hub, this shaft spins under load to deliver rotational force. CV joints at each end allow for suspension articulation without binding, ensuring consistent torque delivery through bumps, turns, and uneven road surfaces.

A worn or damaged CV axle can cause drivetrain vibration, clicking noises on cornering, loss of smooth power delivery, and accelerated joint wear. Fitting an OE Match driveshaft restores proper drivetrain balance and power transfer while eliminating noise and improving drive quality.

When to replace
Replace this axle if you notice:
•  Clicking or popping noises when turning
•  Vibration under acceleration
•  Grease leakage around CV joints
•  Excessive joint play or binding
•  Damage from impact or corrosion

Porsche 982C (718C) Cayman S 2017>>

Diagram ref no 1

This part replaces earlier Porsche numbers 982501203C, 982501203D, and 982501203J.

The rear drive shaft transfers engine torque from the transmission or rear differential to the wheel hub, enabling the driven wheels to propel the vehicle. Integrated constant-velocity joints allow the shaft to operate smoothly at varying angles as the suspension articulates, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery during acceleration, cornering, and changes in road surface.

Function:
•  Transfers rotational force from the drivetrain to the rear wheel
•  Allows suspension articulation via constant-velocity joints
•  Maintains smooth, vibration-free power delivery
•  Supports traction, handling balance, and drivetrain refinement

When to replace:
•  Clicking or knocking noises during acceleration or turning
•  Vibration or shudder under load
•  Torn or leaking CV boots
•  Excessive play detected during inspection
•  During suspension, hub, or drivetrain service revealing wear

This part replaces earlier Porsche numbers 982501203C, 982501203D, and 982501203J.

The rear drive shaft transfers engine torque from the transmission or rear differential to the wheel hub, enabling the driven wheels to propel the vehicle. Integrated CV joints allow smooth power delivery even as the suspension articulates, maintaining consistent traction during acceleration, cornering, and changes in road surface.

Function:
• Transfers rotational force from the drivetrain to the rear wheel
•  Accommodates suspension movement via constant-velocity joints
•  Maintains smooth, low-vibration power delivery
•  Supports stable handling and drivetrain reliability

Worn CV joints or damaged boots can cause clicking noises, vibration under load, grease leakage, and uneven power delivery. Replacing a failing axle restores smooth drivetrain operation and helps protect surrounding components such as wheel bearings and differentials.

When to replace:
•  Clicking or knocking noises during acceleration or turning
•  Vibration or shudder under load
•  Torn or leaking CV boots
•  Excessive play detected during inspection
•  During suspension, hub, or drivetrain service revealing wear
