OPERATION

Operation
  1. Drive shaft
  2. Dynamic damper
  3. Inner joint
  4. Outer joint

Drive from the power unit is transmitted to the rear wheels by the drive shafts. Due to the RH drive shaft being longer than the LH drive shaft, a dynamic damper is fitted to reduce harmonic vibration.

The inner joint is of the tripode type with spherical bushing to reduce sliding resistance; it cannot be serviced separate from the shaft. The outer joint is of the ball and socket type. The joints are sealed and pre-packed with grease.
