The Honda 42310-VR8-N00 Rear Axle Shaft is a genuine OEM replacement designed for the HRN216 lawn mower. As a direct Honda OEM component, this part is produced to the same specifications as the shaft originally installed at the factory, ensuring proper fit within the rear axle assembly. If your HRN216 is exhibiting drive issues or the existing shaft is worn or damaged, this is the correct replacement to restore proper operation.
Key Features
- Genuine Honda OEM — sourced directly from Honda, this shaft meets the exact dimensional and material specifications of the original, ensuring the rear drive system operates as intended.
- Direct Replacement for the HRN216 — engineered specifically for HRN216 lawn mowers, this shaft installs into the existing rear axle position without modification.
- Verify Your Serial Number — Honda updates parts at production breaks, so confirm your mower's serial number against the fitment table before ordering to ensure you receive the correct shaft for your unit.
- Restored Drive Performance — a worn or damaged rear axle shaft can cause loss of power to the rear wheels, uneven drive engagement, or complete drivetrain failure; replacing it with this OEM shaft restores full, consistent rear-wheel drive.
The rear axle shaft is the rotating member that transfers power from the mower's transmission or drive system to the rear wheels, enabling self-propelled forward movement. It bears the torque load of the drivetrain under continuous operating conditions, and wear, bending, or fracture of the shaft will result in loss of drive to one or both rear wheels. Replacing a damaged shaft promptly prevents secondary wear to surrounding drivetrain components.
