Front wheel drive
(Fig. 5.129) consist of two steel drive shafts of unequal length with constant velocity joints. The right shaft has a greater length than the left. At the ends of the shafts mounted constant velocity joints. Outer constant velocity joint (CV joint) is the same for both drive shafts. Inner constant velocity joints are not the same, and in a car with automatic transmission internal hinge has a different structure (the so-called trehshipovoy joint) and is not suitable for mounting on a car with a manual transmission. A worn CV joints are replaced only in gathering. Damaged protective cover of the constant velocity joint is replaced.
At the outer ends of both drives the front wheels are made slots for installation of the wheel hub and thread for attaching each of the hub. On the inside of each drive is bolted to the transmission flange.
