On the end of an external pin the carving under a big fixing nut by means of which the shaft fastens in a nave is cut. Internal pins of shaft are also equipped with the vents entered into gearing with vents of side gear wheels of differential.

In view of the increased length of the right power shaft its internal CV JOINT is located approximately on a half of length of a shaft (see an illustration Power shafts) which middle part fastens the intermediate bearing placed in an arm of a back support of the power unit. The internal end of a shaft is passed throughout the bearing preventing the cross movement of internal section of assembly and then throughout an external part of the internal CV JOINT.
