This joint started life as a GKN 100mm Ford CV. It is fitted with polished, shot peened and heat treated Prolinx Extreme Duty CV Cage.
GKN CV Joints are a beneficial addition to many competition applications as the products offer increased joint life, reduced running temperatures which decreases stress on the product and significant weight reduction over standard joints. These features ensure the products can deal with the stresses and strains of many forms of motorsport.
Polishing the runners for friction reduction reduces the strength and endurance of the joint.
By fitting small dia. bearings we acheive the reduction in friction without compromising durability.
