Still no CV

Sorry if you didn't like what I said, I was only trying to help - in identifying a problem.

See attached

I see the attached - and I see a Tripode type CV joint, and I also see why it is there - the special characteristic of these is that they allow end movement as well and angular movement - and this allows for the engine movement on its mounts.

Please put me out of my misery - I am looking, and looking - which bit does everybody else call a CV that I just can't see - or is called by another name -

CV - that's fine
VCU - I understand as a viscous coupling
Coupling - possible ???

Appreciate the correction - we all live to learn

Thanks - I always know that as a Tri poid joint or coupling - and not a CV joint, I guess you live and learn

Sorry if you misinterpreted my response - not rattled and appreciate your comments and I appreciate you thought I may have made an error. Which I am proud to admit that I often do .

On the PDF - Bit No 7 - part TV 1000000 indicates a uni but only applies to three parts. Bit No 0 - which is not annotated on the drawing as a part but has Number TVF 000010 is called a joint Tripode - well that is Freelander speak for a Tripode CV joint.

The problem with e-mails is that "tone" can ether be added or indeed not be there, so the wrong tone of the message can be communicated. That is why in communication the actual words only account for about 30% of the communicated message and it is other cues such as body language and inflections in the voice that communicate the remaining 70% of the message - I guess that is why smilies were invented to help the communication process in the written electronic word - maybe I should used a few .

Cheers

I think that is probably the reason but I wonder why not just put in a shaft and uni with a sliding spline like most landy drive shafts have. A hell of a lot cheaper than a CV. Also note that the rear propeller shaft only has universal joints with no spline slider and the rear diff does bounce around in its cradle a fair bit as it is not mounted well (it chews through its rubber mounts a lot) - I think it is the propeller shaft that helps sabilise it.

Also - by way of interst this Triopode CV joint is the same joint that is the inner CV joints on all the axle drive shafts. The outer CVs are the usual cheap ball and cage CVs that anyone with a jap front wheel drive car would be familiar with.

I suspect that the "cheap ball and cage joints" are actually more expensive to make (not to be confused with retail price), and while associated with Jap cars, they were first used in the mini, and are used in cars from all countries today - not particularly associated with Japan.

This thread has prompted me to write an article on U-joints which hopefully will be finished in time for the next magazine issue.
(Anyone who can point me at good pictures of U-joints in the next couple of days please do so)
