Transfers torque at the center of the driving and driven shaft.
RPM of both shafts operate at constant velocity
(U-joints speed up and slow down twice per revolution)
CV-Joint = Constant Velocity

Replacing CV-joint Boots
![Page 19: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Replacing CV-joint BootsRipped boots allow contamination that accelerate wear in the CV-joint
Replace CV-Joint AND CV Boot
Replacing entire drive axle shaft is the Most Reliable repair
![Page 20: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Split replacement bootis NOT RECOMMENDED
![Page 21: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Replacing CV-joint BootsAll old grease must be completely removed
Leave no trace of cleaning solvent.
Balls, rollers, cages, races are wear mated.
Easy to switch positions of ball, roller and race causing accelerated wear/vibration
![Page 22: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Each ball must stay in original position
for cage AND inner race AND outer race
![Page 23: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
If a CV joint boot is to be replaced… Boot must be properly located,
Specified amount of special lubricant usedClamp secured with a special tool

New ½ shaft is more reliableand cheaper in long run

Diagnose Front Drive Axles
Check suspension and wheel balance before assuming that the problem is the axle assembly
Outer C/V joint most likely to fail
Clicking or Popping on sharp corners is worn Rzeppa style CV-joint
![Page 27: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Worn outer cv joint may cause a clickingor popping noise when turning.

Diagnose Front Drive Axles
Vibrations can be a worn inner CV joint
A clunking noise during acceleration and deceleration (torque changes) can be worn out Inner CV-joint
![Page 29: Outer CV-jointcf.linnbenton.edu/eit/auto/krolicp/upload/Front_Drive.pdf · Outer CV-joint Allows wheels to steer while axle is rotating Inner CV-joint Allows axle shaft to change](https://reader030.fdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022040409/5ec884a7bc79c544b85b6803/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Torque steer is created when halfshaft operating angles are unequal.
The shaft with the least operating angle will require less effort to turn leading to quicker acceleration and torque steer

Torque Steer
Torque steer occurs when vehicle pulls or steers to one side upon hard acceleration
Torque Steer is caused by unequal CV-Joint angles from left to right side of vehicle
Two designs used to minimize torque steer

http://www.agcoauto.com/content/news/p2_articleid/249Above is link to good article on causes of Torque Steer
Torque Steer caused by any shift in position of transaxle to drive wheels….Worn tie rod ends….Worn Ball Joints….Worn Suspension Bushings…..Worn Motor Mounts…..Improper Alignment of Sub frame

Replace CV drive axleNever use Impact wrench to remove Axle Nut (Damage to bearing and CV-joint)
Many suspension components are removed and wheel alignment often required after replacing ½ shafts (C/V drive axle)
Do not pull on axle shaft to remove inner C/V-joint from transaxle
