What This Product Does

The driveshaft transfers rotational force through the front driveline while its constant-velocity joints accommodate steering and suspension movement. Correct operation helps maintain consistent torque delivery without excessive vibration, clicking or driveline play.

Functions

• Transfers torque through the front axle assembly
• Allows for changes in steering angle and suspension position
• Maintains rotational movement between connected driveline components
• Helps limit vibration and free play when the joints are serviceable

Technical Details

• Brand: OE Match
• OE references: 95B407271K, 95B407271H
• Position: front axle
• Diagram reference: number 1

Symptoms of Fault

• Clicking noises while steering on full lock
• Vibration or shuddering during acceleration
• Clunks when taking up drive or changing load
• Excessive movement in a constant-velocity joint
• Split joint boots, grease loss or contamination around the shaft
• Persistent vibration caused by a damaged or distorted shaft

Why Replacement Matters

A worn joint, damaged boot or distorted shaft can introduce noise, vibration and unwanted movement into the driveline. Replacing the affected assembly helps restore controlled torque transfer and can prevent continued wear to connected components. Inspect the associated bolts, boots, joints and mounting points during installation, and confirm the required hardware using the vehicle identification details.

FAQs

• Can a damaged boot be replaced separately?
  If the damage is identified before dirt enters the joint and the joint remains serviceable, a boot replacement may be possible. A noisy or worn joint normally requires further repair or driveshaft replacement.
• What else can cause driveline vibration?
  Wheel and tyre imbalance, worn gearbox or differential mounts, suspension wear and other driveline components can produce similar symptoms. Diagnosis is recommended before replacement.
• How should compatibility be confirmed?
  Cross-check 95B407271K, 95B407271H or 18-213260 against the vehicle identification number, model year, engine and applicable production notes.
