You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 43470-09890 fits your vehicle.

The left side driveaxle is shorter, while the right side driveaxle is longer and equipped with an intermediate shaft supported by a bearing support.

The inner ends of the driveaxles are equipped with sliding constant velocity joints, which are capable of both angular and axial motion. Each inner joint assembly consists of either a tripod bearing and a joint tulip (housing) or a ball-and-cage type constant velocity joint, allowing the joint to slide in-and-out as the driveaxle moves up-and-down with the wheel. The joints can be disassembled and cleaned in the event of a boot failure, but if any parts are damaged, the joints must be replaced as a unit.

Disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery and set the parking brake.

Disconnect the stabilizer link at the suspension strut and the tie-rod ends from the knuckle. Remove the nuts and bolt securing the ball joint to the control arm, then pry the control arm down to separate the components.
