- Each shaft is individually verified for straightness for vibration-free running at all speeds
- Axle measurements are validated after assembly
- Boot clamps are pneumatically crimped to seal the boot to the housing
- Grease that withstands high temperature and high torque
- Splines and threads are precision rolled; the transmission seal diameter is machined after heat treatment
