ok i see where it is, but what exactly does it do...

never mind... i hate being not lazy
"A half shaft is an automotive term used to describe a driveshaft that goes from a vehicle's differential to one of the driven wheels.

It is so called because it will typically be transmitting half of the available power that is supplied to the differential to which it is connected. Typically 'driveshaft' refers to the shaft providing power to the differential."

in layman terms.....

it connects the tire on the passenger side to the tranny... (in k20)

in the case of the d17.. its the driver side tire connecting to the tranny...

tire >> axle >> half shaft >> tranny
