Constant Velocity Joint System reduces vehicle weight.
Laboratory and Research Supplies and Equipment

Constant Velocity Joint System reduces vehicle weight.

In addition to reducing- rear-wheel-drive vehicle weight, VL3 can increase torque capacity without increasing package size. Available sizes also let automakers maintain torque capacity but reduce package size. With plunging distance of 18 mm, this rear constant-velocity sideshaft uses Monobloc Tubular Shaft and Face Spline connection to wheel hub as well as GKN CounterTrack™ principal. Other...
