Are your front wheels no longer turning even though the motor is running? Do you only have rear-wheel drive now? The front drive shaft is the part that transmits power from the central differential to the front wheels. When it breaks, you lose front traction and your vehicle becomes rear-wheel drive only.
This Front Drive Shaft 16101-6028 is the exact original part installed at the factory on your SCY. It instantly restores full 4x4 transmission, allowing you to regain traction on all four wheels.

FAQ: Drivers’ Questions

How do I know if my front drive shaft is broken?
If the motor runs but only the rear wheels turn (the front wheels do not), the front drive shaft is probably broken. Inspect visually: if you see the shaft in two pieces or cracked, it must be replaced immediately.
Does installation require special tools?
No, a simple Phillips screwdriver is enough. You need to partially disassemble the chassis to access the front shaft, remove the old one, install the new one, and reassemble. Allow 15-20 minutes if you are familiar with your vehicle.
Pro tip to extend lifespan
Avoid sudden locking of the front wheels (for example, hitting an obstacle at full speed). These shocks transmit huge torsional stresses to the shaft and can break it instantly. After each session, visually check the shaft: any emerging crack should be addressed before it becomes a complete break.
