Description and Operation

The halfshafts have constant velocity (CV) joints at both ends to provide smooth drive to
the road wheels.
The inner CV joints are sliding joints.
The outer CV joints are fixed ball joints.
The left-hand halfshaft CV joint is secured in the differential with a snap ring.
The intermediate shaft (right-hand side) is secured in the differential by the intermediate
shaft center bearing assembly.
The outer CV joints are attached to the wheel hubs.

Working principle of the halfshafts

The halfshafts transmit torque from the engine to the wheels.
In order to allow vertical movement of the wheels and engine, the halfshafts operate at
varying lengths and angles.
The tripode joints allow for changes in halfshaft length during axial movements.

Handling halfshafts

CAUTION: The inner constant velocity (CV) joint must not be bent at more than 18

degrees, the outer CV joint must not be bent at more than 45 degrees.
NOTE: Do not place the tripode joint under tension.

If removing/installing and disassembling/assembling the halfshafts, the following points
should be observed:
