• For the axle-side joint, a bell-shaped constant velocity joint has been adopted, reducing vibration and noise.

• For the differential-side joint, a tripod-shaped constant velocity joint has been adopted to reduce slide 

resistance, vibration and noise, as well as booming noise during high-speed driving.
