Axle Shaft Assembly: Description and Operation

DESCRIPTION

The inner joints of both halfshaft assemblies are cross-groove joints and are splined to the differential side gears. The outer joints of both assemblies are Rzeppa Joints. On vehicles equipped with the limited slip Getrag differential, the halfshafts have cross-groove joints on both ends. The cross-groove joints are true constant velocity (CV) joint assemblies, allowing for the changes in halfshaft length through the jounce and rebound travel of the rear suspension.
