The rear CVD universal swing shaft specified as model YT295S is intended for Axial Yeti drivetrains. Constructed from Steel #45 with a spring steel cup joint, this component is a purpose-made steel replacement for softer OEM rear CVD links.
Engineered to reduce driveline play, the harder shaft body improves wear resistance while the cup joint retains controlled articulation. The combination suits hobbyist setups where a firmer mechanical connection is preferred without compromising joint movement.
Installation recommendations: mount into the rear CVD assembly using factory attachment points, ensure correct pin and e-clip retention, and verify unobstructed rotation and suspension clearance before final torqueing.
Application notes: installing a stiffer rear CVD shaft will change driveline stiffness and feedback; evaluate suspension damping and alignment after fitting to optimise handling and component life.
For precise rear driveline upgrades on Axial Yeti vehicles, the YT295S is a direct-fit steel shaft that tightens driveline feel while retaining joint articulation.
