General information
The car is actuated by means of torque transfer from a transmission to wheels by means of two power shafts. Boots of internal hinges are made of rubber, and external — from thermoplastic (thermoplastic is steadier against external influences).

External hinges of both shaft (CV JOINTS) terminate in shlitsevy shaft which enter into shlitsevy naves of driving wheels. Shaft are fixed in naves by nuts.
