The Hyundai Santa Fe has 15 known trim variants compared to 6 for the Kia Telluride, which means buyers need to be more careful about matching the exact engine or drivetrain configuration on the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Buyer's checklist

What to check before buying a used axle shaft

  • Inspect the CV joint boots for cracks or tears. A torn boot means contaminated grease and likely a worn joint.
  • Check the splines on both ends for wear, rounding, or corrosion.
  • Match the axle length and spline count exactly. AWD and FWD variants of the same vehicle often use different axles.
  • Confirm the ABS tone ring is present and undamaged — a missing ring triggers ABS warning lights.
