Drive Shafts

Geelong Brake & Clutch now offer CV Driveshafts, CV Joints and CV Boot Kits. Constant velocity, or CV, joints enable drive power to be transmitted through a sharp angle.

They must tolerate 20cm vertical suspension movement and 50cm side to side movement for steering. Front-wheeldrive cars have two drive shafts, or half shafts. There are CV joints at both ends of the half shafts. The CV joint that attaches one end of each half shaft to the differential portion of the transaxle is called an inboard. Inboard, or plunge, CV joints must accommodate the in-and-out movement of the half shafts as the suspension operates.

The CV joint at the other end of the half shaft is called an out board, or fixed, joint. Nevertheless, every kind of CV joint uses a boot and is serviced in similar fashion. The Protex driveline range is our most recent addition. It currently consists of Driveshafts, CV and steering rack boots
