On all except Geo models and LeMans, a ball type constant velocity joint is used at the outboard end, while a tri-pot type joint is used at the inboard
end, Fig. 3. Snap rings are used to lock the male splines of the axle shafts into the transaxle gears, except for the left side inboard joint used with the
automatic transaxles. The left side inboard joint used on automatic transaxle models utilizes a female spline which installs over a transaxle stub shaft.
