The axle shafts transmit torque to the wheels via the inner and outer CV joints. On some vehicles, an intermediate shaft with a support is installed on the right axle shaft. Rzeppa-type outer CV joints transmit torque to the steered wheels. The CV joint consists of two shaped forks with 6 balls that can move freely in the fork grooves. The CV joints are covered with covers filled with grease. If there is even the slightest damage, the covers must be replaced. The inner CV joints consist of three rollers that move freely in the longitudinal grooves of the cups. This design ensures axial movement of the axle shaft and replaces the splined sliding joint. The grease for the roller joints is placed in the cover and is replaced only if the cover is damaged. On late-production vehicles, the inner joints are ball-type, with a separator, outer and inner races.
The inner end of the axle shaft is splined, the outer end is splined with a thread for the hub nut.
