Abstract:
1. A multi-axle component for a constant-velocity drive type driveshaft joint system, comprising: a rotation shaft comprising an end distal to a joint region, and an end proximate to the joint region; a generally cylindrical ball receiving housing located at the proximate end, comprising; a cylindrical wall adapted to receive at least a partially spherically shaped shaft end; and a rear wall adjacent to the rotation shaft that closes an end of the ball receiving housing; at least two holes provided in the cylindrical wall that are axially displaced from one another along a rotation axis of the multi-axle component; and a pin that extends through only one of the axially displaced holes at a time to join the shaft end with the multi-axle component; wherein: each of the at least two holes has a counterpart hole on an opposite side of the cylindrical wall, each hole and counterpart hole forming a respective hole pair; and the pin is extendable through both hole pairs at different times, but only both holes of one hole pair at a time, leaving the other hole pair empty.
