E 350 Sedan (212.056) V6-3.5L (272.980) (2010)
On the transmission end of the front axle, the propeller shaft (5) is connected over a propeller shaft flange (7) to the drive pinion of the front axle
transmission.
Universal joints (3)
A universal joint, which runs under a diffraction angle, always generates a uniform rotary motion.
If the angles that form between the axles of the propeller shaft tube and the linkage arms are equal in size, and if they are located on a common plane,
they will compensate for any irregularities in the two universal joints. The output speed of the propeller shaft (5) onto the front axle transmission is
then uniform.
