Product Description
The 49501-3J150 Drive Shaft Assembly Right Hand is a front passenger-side axle assembly designed for selected Hyundai Veracruz models. Hyundai catalogues identify the component as Shaft Assembly-Drive, RH, with Axle Assembly used as an alternative product name. It is a direct replacement for the earlier part number 49500-3J120.
Installed between the transmission or front differential and the right-front wheel hub, the drive shaft transfers rotational force to the wheel while its constant-velocity joints accommodate steering and suspension movement. This replacement assembly is suitable for drivetrain repair, worn CV axle replacement, and vehicle restoration projects where correct passenger-side fitment is required.
The assembly is catalogued as a direct replacement component, helping maintain the original mounting position and drivetrain layout without structural modification.
Part number 49501-3J150 is assigned to the right-hand or passenger side of the vehicle. It should not be ordered as a left-side axle replacement.
The product is supplied as a drive-shaft or axle assembly rather than an individual CV-joint repair component, making it suitable for complete shaft replacement.
The CV-joint arrangement allows torque to be transmitted while the front wheel turns and the suspension moves through its normal range.
Hyundai catalogues list 49501-3J150 as the replacement for 49500-3J120, helping buyers cross-reference older repair records and packaging labels.

The dimensions and weight above come from a Hyundai OEM parts catalogue. Another distributor records a slightly different reference width and weight—38.4 × 5.7 × 5.1 inches and 16.80 pounds—so these figures should be treated as catalogue or shipping references rather than engineering dimensions of every production batch.
The main function of the 49501-3J150 assembly is to transfer torque from the transmission or front differential to the right-front wheel. Its constant-velocity joints maintain power transmission while compensating for steering angles and vertical suspension movement.
The assembly is commonly used for:
Replacing a worn right-front CV axle
Repairing damaged inner or outer CV joints
Correcting drivetrain vibration caused by shaft wear
Replacing a shaft with a torn or leaking CV boot
Restoring stable power delivery after accident or suspension damage
Installation should be completed by a qualified automotive technician using the Hyundai workshop procedure and the torque specifications for the exact VIN and drivetrain configuration.
Park the vehicle on level ground, secure it against movement, loosen the wheel fasteners, raise it with approved lifting equipment, and remove the right-front wheel.
Remove the axle or hub nut and disconnect the suspension or steering components required to move the wheel hub outward. Avoid damaging the hub bolts, ABS wiring, brake hose, and ball-joint boots.
Separate the outer axle spline from the wheel hub. The Veracruz workshop procedure instructs the technician to push the hub outward and separate the drive shaft from the hub.
Release the inner end of the shaft from the transmission, differential, or transfer-case connection as applicable. Support the shaft during removal and do not allow it to hang by a CV joint.
Inspect the transmission-side oil seal, hub splines, retaining ring, and surrounding components. Replace damaged seals or retaining hardware before installing the new assembly.
Insert the inner shaft fully into its mating connection, then install the outer spline into the wheel hub. The workshop procedure requires confirming after installation that the shaft cannot be pulled out by hand.
Reinstall all removed suspension, steering, brake, and wheel components. Tighten fasteners with calibrated tools using the service-manual values for the specific vehicle.
Check for transmission-fluid leakage, confirm that the CV boots are not twisted, and complete a low-speed road test. Recheck for noise, vibration, warning lights, or fluid leakage after installation.
Possible cause: Wear in the outer CV joint, incorrect axle fitment, loose hub hardware, or insufficient joint lubrication.
Solution: Confirm the noise originates from the right-front axle, inspect both CV boots and joint play, verify part number 49501-3J150 against the VIN, and check all fasteners using the model-specific torque specifications.
Possible cause: Worn inner CV joint, bent axle shaft, incomplete engagement at the transmission side, worn engine or transmission mounts, or an incorrect aftermarket axle length.
Solution: Check that the inner shaft is fully locked in position, inspect the axle for runout or damage, and examine related mounts and wheel-hub components before replacing additional parts.
Possible cause: A split CV boot, loose boot clamp, or boot damage during installation.
Solution: Stop using the vehicle for extended driving, inspect the boot immediately, and replace the boot or complete axle assembly if dirt or water has entered the joint.
Possible cause: Misaligned splines, a damaged or incorrectly installed retaining ring, contamination in the receiving bore, or the wrong shaft specification.
Solution: Remove the shaft, inspect the splines and retaining ring, clean the mating area, compare the replacement with the original part, and reinstall it without hammering directly on the shaft or CV-joint housing.
Possible cause: Damaged transmission or differential oil seal, an incompletely seated shaft, or seal damage during removal.
Solution: Confirm full shaft engagement and inspect the oil seal. Replace a damaged seal rather than relying on sealant around the axle opening.
Possible cause: A disturbed ABS sensor, damaged wiring, contamination around the hub, or an incompatible axle-related component.
Solution: Inspect the wheel-speed sensor and wiring, scan the vehicle for diagnostic trouble codes, and verify the replacement part against the VIN and original assembly.
Kingmay states that its parts are checked against OEM-equivalent fit, form, and function requirements. Its published quality system includes dimensional inspection, optional SGS or TÜV material certification, batch traceability, and pre-shipment verification. Typical low-cost aftermarket suppliers may offer limited technical documentation or inconsistent inspection records.
Kingmay provides OEM-number cross-referencing and vehicle-fitment assistance. Buyers can submit a VIN, chassis number, or photo of the removed component for identification, with the company stating that technical and cross-reference requests are normally handled within 24 hours. This reduces the risk of ordering the wrong axle position or drivetrain version.
Compared with many generic suppliers, Kingmay offers flexible wholesale quantities, private-label packaging for bulk orders, consolidated shipments across several parts categories, and export documentation such as commercial invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Its shared Guangzhou logistics network can combine engine, suspension, cooling, electrical, and drivetrain-related orders into one shipment.
Please confirm the VIN, production date, AWD/FWD configuration, transmission specification, installation side, and original part number before ordering. Model and year information alone may not guarantee compatibility.
