How to remove and install the Drive Shaft on Kia Sportage?

Release the parking brake and put the transaxle in Neutral, then raise the vehicle and securely place it on jackstands. Crawl under the vehicle and visually inspect the driveshaft for dents, bends, and cracks, and check for oil leakage at the front and rear ends. Have an assistant rotate a rear wheel to rotate the driveshaft and verify that the universal joint and the rear rubber coupling are operating properly without binding, noise, or looseness. Listen carefully for any noise from the center bearing and inspect the rubber part of the center bearing for cracks and any other damage. Twist the universal joint to check for freeplay, and mark the relationship of the driveshaft flange at the front end of the driveshaft and the rubber coupling at the rear end in relation to their corresponding companion mounting flanges at the transfer case and at the rear differential. Remove the bolts that secure the rubber coupling to the rear differential companion flange, the center support bearing bracket mounting bolts, and the bolts that secure the driveshaft yoke to the transfer case companion flange, then remove the driveshaft assembly. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Kia Sportage Drive Shaft

The Kia Sportage Drive Shaft takes power from the engine from the transmission or transfer case to the axles to ensure the SUV is always moving, regardless of the terrain, whether it is pavement or rough ground. Built as a hollow steel tube, the Drive Shaft bears yokes and flexible joints that pivot along with suspension travel so torque remains steady, rather than jerky. Rear wheel Sportage trims have a single Drive Shaft that extends to the back differential, and the AWD and 4WD trims have a second shaft that connects the transfer case with the front differential. Over different generations of the Kia Sportage, the drivetrain changed between cardan U-joints, quieter double cardan joints, and Rzeppa constant velocity joints when the sharper angles required the smoother rotation demanded. Certain long wheelbase models go for a two-piece Drive Shaft supported at the center bearing to save space and limit vibration over the vehicle length. Common problems are loose U-joints, dents, mud caking, and missing balance weights that create speed-related shakes in a Kia, and steep lift kits may cause angle misalignment and low speed rumble. Prompt attention to any vibration helps the Kia to keep smooth and to allow every Sportage adventure to continue without Drive Shaft trouble.

If you're in search of top-notch, reasonably priced OEM Kia Sportage Drive Shaft, then you've found the perfect spot. Our website boasts an extensive inventory of Kia Sportage Drive Shaft, all priced at the market's premier price. Rest assured, every genuine part we offer comes with a warranty straight from the manufacturer.

Q: How to remove and install the Drive Shaft on Kia Sportage?
A:
Release the parking brake and put the transaxle in Neutral, then raise the vehicle and securely place it on jackstands. Crawl under the vehicle and visually inspect the driveshaft for dents, bends, and cracks, and check for oil leakage at the front and rear ends. Have an assistant rotate a rear wheel to rotate the driveshaft and verify that the Universal Joint and the rear rubber coupling are operating properly without binding, noise, or looseness. Listen carefully for any noise from the center bearing and inspect the rubber part of the center bearing for cracks and any other damage. Twist the universal joint to check for freeplay, and mark the relationship of the driveshaft flange at the front end of the driveshaft and the rubber coupling at the rear end in relation to their corresponding companion mounting flanges at the transfer case and at the rear differential. Remove the bolts that secure the rubber coupling to the rear differential companion flange, the center support bearing bracket mounting bolts, and the bolts that secure the driveshaft yoke to the transfer case companion flange, then remove the driveshaft assembly.
