Tripod - one of the most important parts of the chassis. Safety and, of course, the ability of the car to move depend on its work. It is the link between the wheels and the drive. The CV joint uses the largest load when cornering or on bumps. It is then that its potential is revealed fully when the wheel deviates from the drive shaft vertically or horizontally. Replacing this important unit hits the budget very hard, so it is important to monitor the condition of the tripod CV joint so as not to lead to its premature replacement.

The usage of the drive shaft tripod hub

SKF brand Tripod Hub, Drive shaft, like any other metal product, does not like moisture very much. When moisture gets under the anther, corrosion instantly forms, the lubricant loses its properties and, as a result, these hated silks in the grenade. For the same reason, the dirt there will also be superfluous.

During operation, these elements of the tripod bearing are under the influence of high alternating stresses. Each section of the working surface of the CV joint ball or tripod roller and the track of the rings experiences multiple loading, distributed within a very small supporting surface.
