Detailed Description

Professional Parts Sweden 46431461 is a front left drive shaft engineered for Volvo driveline applications that use an automatic transmission. It is specified with 31 external teeth on the differential side, 36 external teeth on the wheel side, a 506 mm overall length, and a 56 mm seal diameter. This makes it a direct-reference replacement for service work on the front axle left side of the Volvo C30, Volvo C70, Volvo S40, and Volvo V50.

This part cross-references Volvo OE numbers 31272229 and 36001461 for the same application. When sourcing a replacement drive shaft for a Volvo C30 front left or Volvo S40 front left, matching the tooth count, seal diameter, and transmission type is essential for proper fitment. Part number 46431461 is also a useful reference when comparing driveline components for Volvo C70 and Volvo V50 front axle left service.

What This Part Helps Address

• Clicking or popping noises from the front axle during turns
• Vibration felt through the drivetrain under acceleration
• Wear-related driveline play at the front left side
• Damage to the axle assembly from torn or failed internal components
• Replacement needs after driveline inspection on automatic-transmission Volvo models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s transmission type, axle position, and tooth counts before installation. Confirm the front axle left application against the existing shaft and compare the seal diameter and overall length to the removed part. For Volvo C30, C70, S40, and V50 applications, use the vehicle identification details and part number 46431461 to confirm the correct driveline match before assembly.
