SAFARI STORME MY14

FRONT AXLE (4X4) 51 FRONT AXLE (4X4) E. CONSTANT VELOCITY SHAFT 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 assem- bled. 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. LH half shaft has male splines on DOJ side and it fits in side gear in differential case. RH half shaft has female splines and it fits on axle shaft. Fix Rzeppa joints are used at wheel end. Dou- ble offset joints are used at center section. NOTE Only rubber boots are serviceable in driveshaft
