The car is driven by transmitting torque from the gearbox to the wheels via two (or four – on all-wheel drive models) drive shafts. The inner joint boots are made of rubber, and the outer ones are made of thermoplastic (thermoplastic is more resistant to external influences). Each shaft consists of three main parts: an internal joint (type "tripod"), the shaft itself and an external constant velocity joint (CV joint). The internal joint of the shaft is fixed with a locking ring. The external joints of both shafts (CV joints) end with splined shafts that fit into the splines of the hubs of the drive wheels. The shafts are fixed in the hubs with nuts.
