2. YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO Explain the purposes of a FWD car’s axles.
Describe methods to offset torque steer.
Name and describe types of CV-joints.
Name and describe designs of CV-joints.
Explain how a ball type CV-joint functions.
Explain how a tripod-type CV-joint functions.

3. DRIVE AXLE CONSTRUCTION
Two drive shafts, made of three pieces.
Axles pivot on CV-joints, inner and outer.
Outer CV-joint is supported by the steering knuckle.
Inner CV-joint
connects to the
differential.

5. DRIVE AXLES Equal Length Shafts Vibration Dampers
Unequal Length Half-Shafts
Drive Axle Supports

6. CV-JOINTS With out CV-joints FWD would not be possible.
CV-joints transfer torque at a constant rate.
CV-joints can operate through a wide range of angles.
U-joints DO NOT provide a constant speed.

8. CV BOOTS Boots keep lubrication in.
Boots keep dirt and moisture out of the joint.
DO NOT INSTALL SPLIT BOOTS!
Axle must be removed to install new boot.
CV-joint must be completely disassembled, cleaned, and inspected before replacing boot.
Always use new clamps.

9. TYPES OF CV-JOINTS Inboard joints are of the plunge design.
Outboard joints are fixed.

10. CV-JOINT DESIGNS Two basic designs; Ball Type Tripod Type
Both are available in fixed or plunging.

11. OUTER CV-JOINT Two basic Types; Reppeza Fixed Cv-joint
Fixed Tripod joint
ALL OUTER JOINTS ARE FIXED.

12. INNER CV-JOINT Three basic Types; ALL INBOARD JOINTS ARE PLUNGING.
Double-offset CV-joint
Plunging Tripod joint
Cross-groove plunge joint
ALL INBOARD JOINTS ARE PLUNGING.

13. CV-JOINT WEAR Outer Joints are replaced 9 to 1 more than inner joints.
Wear causes NOISE, or VIBRATION.
Replace punctured boots immediately.
Disassemble and clean joint completely.
Use all of the grease supplied in kit.
Use new clamps.
