The axle shafts transmit torque to the wheels through the inner and outer CV joints. An intermediate shaft with a support is installed on the part of cars on the right axle shaft. Rzeppa type external CV joints provide torque transmission to the steered wheels. The CV joint consists of two shaped forks with 6 balls, which can move freely in the grooves of the forks. The CV joints are covered with covers that are filled with grease. At the slightest damage, the covers must be replaced. Internal CV joints consist of three rollers that move freely in the longitudinal grooves of the cups. This design provides axial movement of the axle shaft and replaces the spline sliding connection. Lubrication of roller joints is placed in the cover and is replaced only if the cover is damaged. On cars of later releases, internal ball joints, with a cage, outer and inner cages.
The inner end of the axle shaft is splined, the outer end is splined with a thread for the hub nut.
