Front Drive Shaft Construction
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. For A/T
vehicle, a tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. For M/T vehicle, a
double offset type constant velocity joint (DOJ) is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft
can slide through the tripod joint or the double offset joint (DOJ) in the extension/contraction direction.
