Buying a used axle shaft: what to check
- Inspect CV boots for cracks. A torn boot means the joint has likely ingested grit.
- Confirm ABS ring compatibility with your sensor setup.
- Left and right shafts usually differ in length, so verify the side.
- Spin the joints through full articulation and listen for clicking.
