2. The right and left drive shafts are equipped with inner and outer constant velocity joints (CV joints). Depending on the model, tripod type CV joints or double compensation joints can be installed on the inner end of the shaft. The design of the drive shafts is shown in the accompanying illustration.

3. The journals of the outer hinges are provided with splines that ensure articulation with the wheel hubs. On the outer side of the hubs, the journals of the hinges are fixed with large hub nuts (see Chapter 10). The internal joints are also splined into a sliding connection with the side gears of the differential and are secured with retaining rings. Intermediate shaft (with appropriate equipment) one end of the shaft is splined into engagement with the differential side gear, the other end of the shaft is secured in the intermediate support (bracket) and is connected to the right drive shaft also using a splined connection.
