The inner joints of both halfshaft assemblies are cross-groove joints. The outer joints of both assemblies are Rzeppa Joints. The cross-groove joints are true constant velocity (CV) joint assemblies, which allow for the changes in halfshaft length through the jounce and rebound travel of the rear suspension.
