Drive shafts

The car is driven by transmitting torque from the axle differential to the drive wheels of the front and rear axles of the car through the four drive shafts (two front and two rear). Anthers internal hinges are made of rubber, and external - Thermoplastic (thermoplastic is more resistant to external influences). Each shaft consists of three main parts: the internal hinge directly shaft and an outer constant-velocity joint (CV joint). The internal hinge shaft is fixed inside the respective assemblies of the differential with a locking ring. External joints (CV joints) terminate slotted pins, which are pushed into the spline hub drive wheels. Locking pins hub is carried out by the hub nuts.
