3B – 2 MANUAL TRANSAXLE DRIVE AXLE
DAEWOO M-150 BL2
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
FRONT DRIVE AXLE
Drive axles are flexible shaft assemblies that transmit a
rotational force from the transaxle to the front wheel as-
semblies. Each axle assembly consists of an inner
constant-velocity joint and an outer constant-velocity
joint connected to an axle shaft. The inner joint is com-pletely flexible and has the ability to move in and out.
The outer joint is also flexible, but it cannot move in and
out.
The drive axles use a Rzeppa–style joint on the out-
board side and a Tripot–style joint on the inboard side.
