Front Wheel Drive Shaft Tripod Joint
The front wheel drive shaft tripod joint is made without an over-extension limitation retainer.
The joint is constructed as follows:
- The left front wheel drive axle has a female spline. The female spline installs over a stub shaft that protrudes from the transaxle.
- The right front wheel drive axle has a male spline. The right front wheel drive axle uses a barrel-type retaining ring in order to interlock with the transaxle gears.
