OPERATION
- Drive shaft
- Dynamic damper
- Inner joint
- 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.
