FRONT AXLE (4X4) 42 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. VI 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 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.
