The Lexus ES300 Axle Assembly consists of several parts that work together to ensure a smooth transition of power from the transmission to the front wheels via separate driveshafts. The axle is a structural component of your car that keeps the wheels of your vehicle positioned for optimal steering performance while supporting the weight of both the car and its attendant cargo. The front axle is the steering axle and is connected to the driveshaft.

The CV (Constant Velocity) joint is a flexible coupler located on the end of the driveshaft to allow the wheels free movement while adjusting to the vagaries of the road without damage to the driveshaft. The CV joint is covered with an air-tight rubber boot that keeps out moisture and dirt.

You should check the CV joint boot periodically to make sure the rubber is not cracked. Cracked rubber could allow foreign particles to enter the joint and wear it down. Do you sometimes hear grinding noises when you shift gears? Are you hearing strange noises from your front suspension as you drive or when making turns? Are you missing the crisp steering response you used to get from your car? Any of these could be an indication that some part of your Lexus ES300 Axle Assembly may need to be replaced.
