The propeller shaft assembly is a 2-piece design.The front shaft consists of a plunging A-type constantvelocity joint at the front and a universal joint and yoke at therear.
The rear shaft consists of a center bearing and a centeryoke, which are pressed onto the rear half of the propshaft andretained by a snap ring. The front and rear shafts are joinedtogether at the yokes with a universal joint. The rear shaftattaches to the axle with a flange which is attached to the rearshaft with a universal joint.
The center bearing provides support where the front and rearshafts mate and is bolted to the underbody. The front constantvelocity joint is bolted to the power take-off unit(PTU), and the rear universal joint flange is bolted to the reardifferential.
Scrub Radius Description Wheels
Ideally, the scrub radius is as small as possible. Normally,the SAI angle and the centerline of the tire and the wheelintersect below the road surface, causing a positive scrub radius.With struts, the SAI angle is much larger than the long arm/shortarm type of suspension. This allows the SAI angle t ...
