What is a Double Cardan CV H Yoke?

A Double Cardan CV H Yoke is a type of drive shaft coupling designed for use with a constant velocity (CV) joint. It is a two-piece yoke that features a center u-joint and two CV joints. It is used to connect the drive shaft to the transmission in some all-wheel drive vehicles.

What is its purpose?

The Double Cardan CV H Yoke is designed to provide a flexible connection between the drive shaft and the transmission while maintaining a constant velocity. This allows for smoother power transmission between the transmission and the wheels, resulting in improved acceleration and handling.

How can I tell if my Double Cardan CV H Yoke is faulty?

If your Double Cardan CV H Yoke is faulty, you will likely notice a vibration or shaking while driving. This can be caused by a worn or damaged CV joint, or by a worn or broken u-joint. You may also hear a clicking or clunking sound, which is indicative of faulty or worn CV joint or u-joint.

Can a faulty Double Cardan CV H Yoke cause damage?

Yes, if your Double Cardan CV H Yoke is not functioning properly, it can cause damage to the drive shaft, transmission, and other components. A damaged or worn yoke can cause vibrations and excess stress on the drive shaft, resulting in premature wear and failure.

How do I replace a Double Cardan CV H Yoke?

To replace a Double Cardan CV H Yoke, you will need to:

1. Disconnect the drive shaft from the transmission.
2. Remove the old yoke and the u-joint connecting the drive shaft to the yoke.
3. Install the new yoke and reattach the u-joint.
4. Reattach the drive shaft to the transmission.
5. Check for leaks and make sure the yoke is properly installed and aligned.

How often should I inspect my Double Cardan CV H Yoke?

You should inspect your Double Cardan CV H Yoke at least once a year, or more often if you notice any signs of wear or damage. It is also recommended to inspect the yoke after any off-roading or vigorous driving.
