About this product

The Cross Groove Joint Cover (#43446-24020), a Drive-Chassis part in the Rear Axle Shaft & Hub system, plays a significant role in your Toyota vehicle's driving performance. It protects the cross groove joint from dirt, debris, and other environmental factors, ensuring the smooth functionality of the joint and the overall axle system. As part of its operation, it interacts with the axle shaft, bearings, and wheel hub, among other components. With time, this cover can become worn, damaged or clogged.

Therefore, it is crucial to replace it periodically, preferably with genuine Toyota parts for optimal compatibility and performance. Remember, these genuine parts also come with Toyota's genuine parts warranty. Lastly, a functional Cross Groove Joint Cover (#43446-24020) significantly improves the efficiency of the Rear Axle Shaft & Hub system, contributing to a smoother, safer, and more effective driving experience.
