Transmission&drivelines lesson 8

What is a characteristic of most constant velocity joints?

• They require frequent maintenance

• They are usually greased for life

• They are made of plastic

• They are adjustable in length

Which of the following is a type of constant velocity joint that is NOT mentioned in the text?

• Constant velocity slip joints

• Constant velocity fixed joints

• Double universal joints

• Ball and socket joints

What is the purpose of intermediate shafts in a drive propeller shaft system?

• To increase speed

• To reduce noise

• To compensate for different distances between wheel hub and differential

• To enhance fuel efficiency

What should be done regularly to the protective boots of constant velocity joints?

• They should be replaced

• They should be checked for damage

• They should be lubricated

• They should be cleaned

What is another name for constant velocity slip joints?

• Homokinetic joints

• Universal joints

• Ball joints

• Fixed joints

What type of joints are pot joints?

• Constant velocity slip joints

• Fixed joints

• Rotational joints

• Hinged joints

What is the maximum working angle of pot joints?

• 15°

• 22°

• 30°

• 45°

On which type of vehicles can pot joints be used?

• Only front-wheel drive vehicles

• Only rear-wheel drive vehicles

• Both front and rear-wheel drive vehicles

• Only all-wheel drive vehicles

Why are pot joints not suitable for the large working angle occurring when the steering is turned?

• They are too rigid

• They are too flexible

• They cannot handle the large working angle

• They are too small
