Note:
^
When inserting make sure that the wide space -a- on joint housing is aligned with the narrow space -b- on the hub after swiveling in.
^
Chamfer on inner diameter of ball hub (splines) must face larger diameter of joint housing.
-
Install ball hub, whereby the hub must be swiveled out of the cage (arrows) far enough to allow the balls to fit into the ball tracks.
-
Press cage firmly (arrow) until hub swings fully in position.
Checking operation of constant velocity joint:
The constant velocity joint is correctly assembled when the ball hub can be moved by hand backward and forward over its entire axial movement
range.
