Each shaft consists of three parts: internal and external joints of equal angular velocities (SHRUS) and the shaft itself.
The splined part of the outer hinge is inserted into the wheel hub and fixed with a nut. CV joints are lubricated with grease, which is replaced only when the joint is disassembled.
Covers should be checked periodically for damage and grease leakage.
Lubrication from the hinge follows when the protective cover is torn or the fastening clamps are loosened.
Torn protective covers of CV joints must be replaced immediately, otherwise damage to the hinges may occur. Replacing the boot involves removing the drive shaft.
Vibration and increased noise when starting off, engine braking and sharp turns occur when the constant velocity joints, shaft splines are worn out and when the wheel bolts are loosened.
Pic. 10–1. Drive Shaft Type «tripod»: 1 - washer; 2 - thrust ring; 3 - spring ring; 4 - external hinge of equal angular velocities; 5 - bolt; 6, 11 - protective covers; 7, 9, 10, 12 - clamps; 8 - drive shaft; 13 - cover; 14 - sealing ring; 15 - retaining ring; 16 - hinge holder; 17 - roller; 18 - bolt M10x20, 70 Nm; 19 - hinge body
Concave side washer 1 (pic. 10–1) must be in contact with the retaining ring.
When installing, it is necessary to use a new spring ring 3. Before installing the CV joint, it is installed in the groove of the drive shaft.
In the presence of scuffs and cracks, a new protective cover must be used.
The chamfer on the splines of the roller holder must point towards the drive shaft.
