I've seen after market half shafts advertised for the Stag with CV joints compared to the Standard UJs' What's the major difference between the two types of joints?
As I understand it: The design of CV joints allows them to operate at high angles (over 40 degrees) - enough to cope with suspension travel and some lateral movement, while providing a constant veloc
I'm in the US, but saw them advertized in a Stag mag. in the UK. I've heard from another source that the TR6 shafts are the same. Maybe I can get a pair of them for the Stag. However, some more inves

OK, I'll give it a try. First of all, when there is no misalignment between the input shaft and the output shaft, both types impart a constant angular velocity from the input shaft to the output shaf
suspension The most common type of CV joint setup (used on 80-90% of FWD econoboxes) has the 'spline' built into the inner joint. The outer 'race' is simply elongated, so the balls and inner 'race' c
I have a 1960 Berkeley T60.... front wheel drive with universal joints instead of CV's. Drive it once and you'll feel the difference. ;-) Bill Elliott Lake Mills, WI
Hi List! Question: Can these CV Joints been installed in the TR4/A IRS car? I think the set-up is the same as a TR250 & TR6. If so, then what is the distrubutor & the part #. I always associated the
one little difference, UJ's seem to be stronger by inherent design than cv's. An example are cv's and uj's for the same application in the Mini. The cooper's' shaft used to have uj's whereas the std
cv's. I'm not quite sure what that means, but the FWD Oldsmobile Toronado used CV joints to carry over 1000 ft-lbs of torque, and I've never heard that CV joint failures were particularly common. For
Either type of joint can be designed for arbitary strength. The Mini inner CV joint was designed not for strength, but to be cheaper than the Hardy Spicer UJ and less likely to disolve in oil than th
