What is a sideshaft?
A sideshaft is a system that transfers torque from a differential to the driven wheels allowing wheel movement due to steering or suspension movement. This system has three major elements:
- Inboard Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ)
- Interconnecting shaft
- Outboard Constant Velocity Joint (CVJ)
In most applications, the inboard CV Joint is a plunge joint that allows the effective length of the sideshaft to change due to suspension travel. In front (or steer) axle applications, the outboard joint must transfer torque effectively through a wide angle (up to 52 degrees). In rear axle applications, joint operating angles are much lower.
Why use GKN Driveline Sideshafts?
