There are many components in your Audi apart from the engine and the transmission that play an equally important role in the smooth running and better performance of the car. One such component is the CV joints which is used for the transfer of power from the transmission and driveshaft to the wheels of the car. There are various types of CV joints. Go through the slide to know the different types of CV joints used in an Audi.

2. The constant velocity joints are
also defined as CV joint in your
Audi which is used for
transferring the power from the
transmission and driveshaft to
the wheels of the car.

3. The CV joints perform all the
process through the variable
angles which are generally
placed between the driveshaft
and wheels.

4. The rotation speed of the
wheels are not all affected by
the rotating angled joints
because it doesn't have more
friction than the straight
joints.

5. As it is found within the
wheels of the Audi, so in front-
wheel drive cars you will find
the CV joints in two front
wheels.

6. The following points define
the different types of
constant-velocity joints used
in your Audi.

8. The front wheel of the Audi
has an inboard joint which is
also known as a plunge joint
and a fixed joint.

9. The fixed joints are maneuver
the angles while steering the
wheel. The rear wheel drive
and independent rear wheel
suspension can use the
plunge joints.

11. The front wheel drive of Audi
with an outer joint have a
fixed tripod joint that will be
mounted onto the outer
housing of the joint.

12. It has three different roller
bearings that are turning
against it and responsible for
keeping the joints together by
locking them in its proper
place.

14. The Rzeppa joints are the
outer and first constant-
velocity joints ever inverted.
On this joint, 6 spherical balls
are used for reducing the
operating angle by 50%.

15. However, the teeth of the
gears are unable to transmit
the torque across the joint
and the balls will go against
the cracks.

17. The front wheel drive Audi
have a drivetrain with two
constant velocity joints per
half shaft such as the inner
constant velocity joint and
outer constant velocity joint.

18. Thus, the inner constant
velocity joint is placed near
the transaxle and the outer
constant velocity joint is
placed near the wheel.

20. The plunge joints used in the
Audi are either a tripod joint
or ball-type joint which has a
former feature of three
trunnions.

21. In the front wheel drive cars
the tripod is generally used
for inner plunge joints. Thus,
the ball-type joints have a
double offset style and cross
groove style.

23. If you want to change the CV
joints of your Audi, then get
knowledge about different CV
joints used in your vehicle.

24. In other hands, you can also
consult with a reputed Audi
professional to change the CV
joints of your Audi.
