Half shafts — general information (Chevrolet Tahoe 1)

The vehicles in question are equipped with two types of rear axles: fully unloaded and semi-unloaded. Semi-unloaded axles rest on the outer part on a roller bearing pressed into the axle beam, the inner part of the axle goes into the splines of the differential gear. The fully unloaded axle goes into the splines of the differential gear, the outer part of the axle is fixed to the wheel hub.

On all-wheel drive models, the front axles are fully unloaded. The length of the front axles is the same, the right axle is connected to the differential via an additional shaft to compensate for the asymmetrical location of the transfer case. The front axles are equipped with inner and outer constant velocity joints (CV joints).
