This video shows you how to install new rear CV axles from TRQ on your 2013-2018 Toyota RAV4 (2.5L L4). A CV axle has flexible joints. Often, these joints wear out, or seize from contaminants due to the protective boot tearing open. A worn joint is prone to breakage, or other hazards. If your vehicle needs a new CV axle, install a quality TRQ axle that is engineered to your vehicle’s specifications.
Estimated installation time for a professional technician is approximately: 5 hours 36 minutes
