ABSTRACT:
A vehicle drive train assembly includes a source of rotational power and at least one rotatably driven vehicle wheel. A male splined member and a female splined member are connected between the source of rotational power and the vehicle wheel to transmit rotational power therebetween. At least one of the splined members is a driveshaft. The splines of the male splined member have side surfaces and outer surfaces which are convex in shape. The convex splines of the male splined member cooperate with the splines of the female splined member to connect the splined members together in a manner that allows for limited angular and axial movement therebetween.
