LR3/Disco 3
The front inboard joint is a 'tripode joint', having three 'feet' or 'podes'. The torque is transmitted from the outer race to the
connecting shaft by means of rollers running on needle rollers around the trunions of the tripode spider. The roller tracks
of the outer race enable the tripode assembly to move angularly and axially within the joint.
The inner CV joint shaft is splined and mates with splines in the front differential. There is no internal retaining mechanism
for this type of joint so care must be taken during service as the shaft and CV joint can separate.
