Front Drive Shaft Construction
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Suzuki SX4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
A constant velocity ball joint is used on the wheel side of both right and left side drive shaft assemblies. A tripod type constant velocity joint is used on the differential side and center shaft side. The drive shaft can slide through the tripod joint in the extension/contraction direction.
