How is power transmitted from the transaxle to the wheels via the axle shaft on 2003 Mazda Protege?

Power is transmitted by axle shafts splined to the differential and hubs. Inner sliding tripod CVs permit angular and axial motion and can be disassembled and cleaned; outer ball CVs permit angular only and require axle replacement if damaged. Inspect boots and joints for leaks, noise, play, and shaft damage.
