ABSTRACT:
A constant velocity joint shaft and inner race combination is provided. The combination includes a shaft having an annular shoulder and a splined section generally adjacent to the shoulder. An inner race with a splined bore is fitted over the splined section of the shaft. A retaining member is provided to connect the inner race to the shaft. The retaining member has an annular body with a plurality of tabs extending in a forward axial direction to be crimped over the shaft annular shoulder. The retaining member also includes a plurality of elongated arms. The elongated arms extend from the annular body in a rearward axial direction completely through the inner race bore. The arms have an acutely bent finger at their extreme end to axially retain the inner race on the shaft. To ease assembly, the retaining member can be pre-assembled on the shaft.
