A constant velocity joint includes an outer joint member having eight axially extending curved guide grooves formed in a spherical inner surface. Likewise, an inner joint member has eight axially extending curved guide grooves formed in a spherical outer surface. Eight ball tracks are defined between the guide grooves of the inner and outer joint members. Each ball track is enlarged in wedge form in a sense of the axial direction. A torque transmitting ball is disposed in each ball track and a cage is provided having a corresponding number of pockets for storing the torque transmitting balls. A bearing is provided having a fixing member, first and second outer races, first and second inner races, and rolling members between the first and second outer races and the first and second inner races. The first and second outer races are provided in the fixing member while the first and second inner races are provided on the outer joint member.
