This video shows you how to install a new CV axle in your 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4. 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: 2 hours 6 minutes
