ABSTRACT:
A coupling for connecting two shafts to each other. The coupling allows one shaft to pivot about transverse axes and plunge toward and away from the other shaft. The coupling is well suited for use as the inboard plunging unit of a constant velocity joint for a front wheel drive vehicle. The shaft end is received in a splined opening formed in a trunnion. The trunnion is pivotably supported in a trunnion support body. The trunnion support body is in turn pivotably supported in slider blocks and the slider blocks are slidable within a drive canister or can. The sliding surfaces preferably include bearings formed of a high PV plastic material such as VESPEL.TM..
