1. A constant velocity joint comprising:
an outer race having inner and outer surfaces, the inner surface including a plurality of outer ball tracks; an inner race having a plurality of inner ball tracks which correspond to the outer ball tracks; a ball cage disposed between the outer race and the inner race; a plurality of balls arranged within the ball cage and contacting the outer ball tracks and the inner ball tracks; and a damping assembly connected to the outer race, the damping assembly including an outer drive element, an inner drive element, and a damping member, the outer drive element having a plurality of teeth and a plurality of mounting bores, the inner drive element having a plurality of projections and a plurality of apertures spaced from the projections, in assembly the damping member is disposed between each adjacent tooth and projection, the outer drive element and inner drive element are connected together via mounting elements passing through the mounting bores and the apertures, the outer drive element being configured as a generally annular ring defining an aperture therethrough, the outer drive element having a top portion including a top surface and a bottom surface, the outer drive element having a generally annular wall extending from the top portion, the teeth being disposed on the bottom surface of the top portion, the inner drive element being configured as a generally annular ring defining a central aperture therethrough, the inner drive element having a bottom portion including a top surface and a bottom surface, the projections extending from the top surface of the inner drive element, the inner drive element being connected to the outer race, the damping element being disposed on the top surface of the inner drive element, the damping assembly further including a spacer having a first end and a second end, the first end of the spacer being connected to the outer race and the second end of the spacer being connected to the inner drive element. |
