FRONT AXLE (4X4)

7. Ensure there should not be excessive play

between two shafts. This affects the

disconnect operation.

NOTE

The front axle mounting bushes are press fitted

(2) and cannot be removed. If these bushes fail

then replace the front axle central differential

housing.

The top rubber bush 1) and bottom rubber bush

(2) are serviceable and can be replaced.

INTRODUCTION

FIXED RZEPPA JOINT

Rzeppa joints are built with outer race, inner race,

cage and six balls. Outer race and inner race

have spherical ball grooves. Cage is assembled

first with inner race / six balls and then outer race

is assembled. Torque is transferred from inner

race to outer race through six balls.

PLUNGING DOUBLE OFFSET (DOJ) JOINT

DOJ is similar to Rzeppa joint, except for outer

race which has straight and longer ball grooves,

instead of spherical grooves as in case of Rzeppa

joint. Inner race and cage can slide in and out on

six balls to compensate change in length of CV

shafts.

Constant velocity joints used on both RH side and

LH side are same, but for the difference in male

and female splines at DOJ end.
