The 1452-8602 CV Joint Kit is a fixed-style Rzeppa joint that excels in delivering constant velocity power transfer at varying angles. With an outer diameter of 86 mm and a spline count of 21, this kit is engineered for specific applications where precision is critical. The spline diameter measures 23.75 mm, which is essential for compatibility with corresponding components. This joint is typically found at the outboard/wheel end, ensuring smooth operation during turns.
When installing the 1452-8602, it’s crucial to pack it with the specified amount of grease and use a new boot and clamps to prevent contamination. The boot cap part number 1418-86 is included, which is vital for maintaining the integrity of the joint. Be mindful of the bolt hole count, which is 6, with each hole having a diameter of 8.4 mm. The outer race width is 21 mm, while the inner race width is 22.1 mm, making it important to verify these dimensions to avoid mismatches with other components.
- Ensure proper grease packing for optimal performance.
- Use the correct boot cap part 1418-86 for sealing.
- Check the spline count (21) and diameter (23.75 mm) for compatibility.
- Inspect for symptoms like clicking on turns or torn boots to avoid failure.
- Verify bolt hole dimensions (8.4 mm) before installation.
Using a part that is close but not exactly the 1452-8602 can lead to premature wear or failure, as the specific dimensions are designed to work seamlessly with the associated driveline components.
