Rear Drive HALFSHAFTS - Vehicles With: PHEV (G2415234): Operation

When the vehicle is in motion the rear knuckles with the wheel hub move up and down. From the eRAD  , the torque goes through the rear drive halfshafts to the rear wheel hubs. The CV  joints allow the rear drive halfshafts to transmit power through a wide range of CV  joint angles. The inner CV  joint is a plunging joint and is able to compensate for the suspension axial movements.

The rear drive halfshaft CV  joints have to follow all the movements of the knuckle and the eRAD  . The CV  joints provide uninterrupted power transmission all the time. The CV  joints do this at a constant rotational speed, without a considerable increase in friction.
