Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly comprising a side shaft journal and a joint component of a CV-jointed shaft, and a method of making the same. The assembly provides a side shaft journal (31) for a differential gear, comprising an inner end which can be inserted into the differential gear, said inner end having an outer toothing (33) and a ring groove (23) for receiving a locking ring (24) by means of which the inner end can be removably connected to a side shaft wheel (25) of the differential gear. Said side shaft journal also comprises an outer end which can be connected to a joint component (41) of a universal-joint drive shaft, said outer end having a toothing (32) and formed elements (33, 34, 40) for receiving axial securing elements, which can be non-destructively removed, for the joint component. The shaft journal (31) is configured as a hollow shaft.
