Description
Inner constant velocity joint
Outer constant velocity joint
Each halfshaft comprises a solid steel shaft with inner and outer constant velocity joints.
The inner joint is the 'tripode' type with spherical bushing to reduce sliding resistance; the shaft and inner joint are one
assembly.
The outer joint is the 'ball and socket' type, with a splined connection between the joint and the shaft. The joints are packed
with grease and protected by gaiters.
The halfshafts are of equal length to eliminate stiffness-related torque-steer.
