Front wheel drive: 1 - retaining ring; 2 - wheel drive shaft; 3 - retaining ring; 4 - hub bearing; 5 – rotary fist; 6 - protective cover; 7 - brake disc; 8 – a nut of fastening of a drive in a nave of a forward wheel.
The drive of each wheel consists of two constant velocity joints and a shaft. The outer hinge consists of a body, separator, inner cage and six balls. Grooves are made in the hinge body and in the holder to accommodate the balls. The grooves in the longitudinal plane are made along the radius, which provides the required angle of rotation of the outer hinge.
The slotted tip of the hinge housing is installed in the front wheel hub and attached to it with a nut. The hinge holder is mounted on the splines of the shaft between the spring washer, the thrust ring and the retaining ring.
Note. To prevent puller 09568-34000 from falling, hang it from a wire or rope to a nearby workpiece.
The inner hinge differs from the outer one in that the tracks of the body and the clip are made straight, which allows the hinge parts to move in the longitudinal direction (this is necessary to compensate for movements caused by oscillations of the front suspension and power unit), as well as the fact that the elements that transmit the engine torque are not balls, but rollers.
Balls of one sorting group are installed in the outer hinge, if necessary, all six balls of the hinge are replaced; balls must be of the same sorting group.
The hinge parts are lubricated with a special lubricant for constant velocity joints, which is put into the hinge bodies during assembly. The sealing of the hinges is provided by rubber protective covers, which are fastened with metal clamps.
