Intermediate shafts, often referred to as “stub shafts” or “inner shafts” are the link that couples the CV axle to the transaxle or differential. They allow for the removal and installation of CV axle assemblies without the need to disturb or replace the Transaxle or differential oil seal.
The intermediate shaft connects the CV axle to the transmission and ensures that the left and right CV axles are of equal lengths. The equal joint angles between the left and right CV axles reduces torque steer and improves vehicle handling.
