Hyundai Santa Fe 2012 Outer Axle Shaft | TOK1308627

Product Overview

This is a genuine Hyundai Santa Fe 2012 outer axle shaft (TOK1308627), manufactured by TOK/OEM in Japan. We guarantee its quality and offer it brand new at the best price.

Function of an Outer Axle Shaft

The outer axle shaft’s primary function is to transmit torque from the transmission or rear differential to the wheels, enabling wheel rotation. This allows for flexible wheel movement, crucial for turning and navigating curves. The shaft’s design minimizes noise and vibration during operation thanks to integrated dampening components. It connects to the wheel hub at one end and the transmission or differential at the other.

Construction and Components

The outer axle shaft comprises several key components:

• Outer casing: A robust metal housing protecting internal parts and bearing external forces.
• U-joint: Connects the axle shaft to the wheel hub or transmission/differential, enabling flexible angular movement.
• Bearings: Located within the U-joint, minimizing friction and noise.
• Retaining ring: Secures the U-joint in place, preventing axle shaft dislodgement.
• Dust seal: Prevents dirt and water from entering the U-joint.

Additional components may include:

• Torsional damper: Reduces vibrations during acceleration and deceleration.
• ABS ring: Prevents wheel lockup during hard braking, enhancing safety.

Operation and Functionality

The outer axle shaft (tubular structure) transmits mechanical power and torque from the differential or gearbox to the wheel axles, facilitating vehicle movement. It integrates with a torsional damper, anti-lock brake ring, and bearings to ensure efficient power transmission. The input and output shafts of the rear differential are coplanar, allowing the axle shaft to connect at an angle. When rear wheels encounter uneven surfaces, the rear axle assembly moves vertically, compressing and expanding the vehicle suspension. This adjusts the axle angle and output shaft, preventing vehicle drift.

Signs of Outer Axle Shaft Failure

Immediate attention is required if you notice any of these issues:

• Excessive noise during operation: This noise might originate from the wheels or undercarriage.
• Vehicle shaking or vibration: Most noticeable during acceleration or deceleration.
• Wheel play or misalignment: A damaged outer axle shaft can cause wheel looseness or drifting.
