CVJ Efficiency Test Recommended Practice

J3249_202607 (Current)

7/14/2026

This recommended practice describes the procedure to measure and report the operating efficiency for all types of constant velocity joints (including fixed and plunging/end motion type joints) used in cars, SUVs, and trucks.
