Torque is transmitted from the gearbox to the drive wheels via drive shafts of different lengths. The right shaft is longer than the left, has a larger diameter and has a tubular cross-section. A vibration damper mounted on the right shaft serves to eliminate vibrations. Each shaft consists of three parts: the inner and outer constant velocity joints (CV joints) and the central part of the shaft.
The inner joint housing tip enters the splines of the differential axle gear with its splines and is fixed in it by an expanding spring retaining ring. The splined tip of the outer joint housing is inserted into the wheel hub and fixed with a nut. CV joints are lubricated with consistent grease, which is replaced only when the joint is disassembled.
