Keep power flowing smoothly to the right front wheel with the TrakMotive CV Intermediate Shaft HY-3549 (also written HY3549), a brand-new front right intermediate shaft that drops in as a direct-fit replacement for the 2022-2023 Hyundai Tucson and 2023 Kia Sportage. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level application detail. This intermediate shaft bridges the transaxle and the outboard CV axle, transmitting torque from the transmission out to the wheel while helping keep the axle assembly properly supported and aligned.
Signs this shaft may need replacing include clicking or clunking through the driveline, vibration during acceleration, or torque that no longer transfers cleanly to the front wheel. If a worn or damaged intermediate shaft is the cause, this new unit replaces it. Always diagnose the underlying cause before ordering, and confirm this part fits your specific vehicle.
