AXLE SHAFT S - FRONT
1988-93 Drive Axles - FWD Axle Shafts
DESCRIPTION & OPERATION
Axle shafts transfer power from transaxle to driving wheels. All axle shafts consist of a shaft with a flexible Constant Velocity (CV) joint at
each end. Inner CV joint is coupled to transaxle by splines. Outer CV joint is splined to hub assembly and secured by axle shaft nut.
Three different types of axle shaft CV joints are used: Double Offset Joint (DOJ) or Rzeppa type, Birfield Joint (BJ) and the Tripot Joint (TJ).
CV joint boots protect CV joints by maintaining proper lubrication and preventing contaminants from entering joint. Boots must be replaced
when signs of leakage or cracks are present. Inner CV joint may be disassembled and serviced. Outer CV joint boot may be replaced, but outer
Birfield CV joint must NOT be disassembled. It must be replaced as an assembly, if faulty.
To prevent torsional vibration and torque steer on turbocharged Capri vehicles, an intermediate shaft and conventional axle shaft are used on
the right side. Both shafts are of similar length and are supported by a bearing, which is attached to engine.

Removal
1. Raise and support vehicle. Remove lower underbody splash shields. Drain transaxle fluid. Remove front wheels and loosen axle shaft
lock nut. On Capri, remove stabilizer bar-to-control arm attaching nuts, bolt, washers and bushings. On Festiva, remove stabilizer bar
attaching nuts and bracket. On all models, remove joint clamp bolt from lower control arm. Pry downward and separate steering knuckle
from ball joint, taking care not to damage ball joint dust boot.
2. On Capri turbo, remove bolts securing intermediate shaft bearing bracket to engine. On all models, slowly pry axle shaft from transaxle
using a flat-tip screwdriver or pry bar. Axle is held into transaxle by a circlip fitted to the end of the axle. Remove axle shaft from wheel
hub. If difficult to remove, use axle puller to remove axle from drive hub. Remove axle shaft from transaxle. Plug transaxle openings
with Plugs (T87C-7025-C ). Remove axle shaft assembly from vehicle. See Fig. 1
