Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual: Front Drive Shaft

Mazda CX-5 Service & Repair Manual / Drivetrain / Driveline / Driveshafts / Front Drive Shaft

Purpose, Function

A bell joint has been adopted for the wheel-side constant velocity joint, reducing vibration and noise.
A tripod joint have been adopted for the differential side constant velocity joint to reduce booming noise during high-speed driving and vibration when idling (ATX).
A low noise and vibration double offset joint with low slide resistance has been adopted for the differential side of the constant velocity joint (MTX). Due to this booming resonance at high speed is reduced.
An extremely durable plastic has been adopted for the wheel side boot.
By integrating the drive shaft on the right side with the joint shaft, vibration and noise during driving which occurred from the previous spline connection construction has been reduced.
