A worn or damaged drive axle shaft assembly can show up as a clicking or clunking noise on turns, vibration while driving, or visible damage to the shaft. If the shaft is the cause, this one replaces it, but a worn wheel bearing can make similar noises. With the engine off, look the shaft over for cracks or other visible damage, and have a shop check anything else. This listing is one shaft for the front left; the front right is a separate part, and both sides are normally replaced together. Each side of the front axle takes one shaft.
