The powertrain of the Volkswagen Golf CV Joint provides smooth, uninterrupted and flexible power to the front wheels, and thus allows the vehicle to accelerate smoothly when turning over a bump. It is mounted at both half shafts and thus provides fixed outer and plunging inner joints so that the gearbox torque is fed continuously to the wheel hubs without jerks. A Rzeppa ball pack on the outside keeps the rotation fixed at high steering angles, and the inner roller on a tripod always moves to keep up with the suspension travel, which has been found to be robust through all eight generations of the small icon. Fitted to either a traditional Mk1 or to the present-day Mk8, the Golf enjoys the benefit of this clever piece of assembly that reduces vibration, enhances fuel economy by minimising the losses to the driveline and maintains constant contact of the tyres to make braking and cornering safer. Storing the CV Joint with intact rubber boots maintains the grease in the bearings, keeps grit out of the tracks and has allowed owners to extend the life of the bearings well beyond 150,000 miles, which is a testament to their confidence. The commitment of Volkswagen to the fixed and plunging design over the years implies that replacement parts are identical regardless of the petrol, diesel and hybrid models, and even the electric one, and makes the do-it-yourself setup easier. Its smart design also minimises unsprung mass, which is beneficial as the suspension responds more quickly to bumpy roads, and the cages are made of specially tempered steel, not prone to fatigue when it comes to repeated hard launches and quick manoeuvres through lanes required by spirited drivers. In addition to more modern boot materials and finer machining, the recent CV Joint model also allows the third generation version of the Golf GTI, GTD or eTSI to retain the light-hearted and precise feel that drivers enjoy, without having to sacrifice a good safety profile in city streets and highways.
