Seal and Clamp
The wheel drive shafts use inboard and outboard joint seals made of thermoplastic material, and clamps made of stainless steel. The functions of the seals are as follows
- The seals protect the internal parts of the inboard and outboard joints. They protect the joint lubricating grease from surrounding detrimental atmospheric conditions; such as extreme temperatures, ozone gas, etc. They protect the joint lubricating grease from foreign materials; such as stones, dirt, water, salt, etc.
- The seals facilitate angular movement of the outboard joint.
- The seals facilitate angular and axial movement of the inboard joint.
The function of the clamps is as follows
Provide a leak proof connection at both the housing and the axle shaft for the inboard and outboard joints.
The thermoplastic material performs well against normal handing, operational wear and conditions. However, this material is not strong enough to withstand abusive handling or damage due to objects such as sharp tools or the sharp edge of any other surrounding components on the vehicle.
Inner Joint
The inner joints are of the tripot or CV-joint design without an over-extension limitation retainer. The inner joints incorporate a male spline which interlocks with the transaxle using snap rings.
Outer Joint
The outer joints are of the Rzeppa. The shaft end which mates with the wheel bearing and hub has helical splines to assure a tight, press-type fit. This design assures that no end play will exist between the hub bearing and the drive shaft assembly for added durability and reduced bearing noise.
