An automotive prop shaft assembly particularly suited for coupling a transfer case to the front axle drive components comprises a tubular drive shaft having an initial uniform inner diameter relatively smaller than the outer diameter of a pair of forged insert yokes to be attached to the ends of the shaft. A section of each end of the tube is enlarged so that its inner diameter is sized to receive the yokes into the ends of the tube with an interference fit. The shaft and yokes are then welded together and weights fixed to the end sections to correct for imbalance.

Ensemble d'arbre de transmission de véhicule automobile conçu en particulier pour coupler une boîte de transfert aux composants d'un essieu avant. Cet ensemble est constitué d'un arbre d'entraînement tubulaire offrant un diamètre interne initial uniforme et relativement plus faible que le diamètre extérieur d'une paire de fourches constituée d'une pièce rapportée forgée à fixer aux extrémités de l'arbre. Une section de chaque extrémité du tube est élargie de manière à ce que son diamètre interne ait la dimension voulue pour recevoir les fourches dans les extrémités du tube, en les ajustant par serrage. L'arbre et les fourches sont ensuite réunis par soudage et l'on fixe des poids aux sections d'extrémité pour corriger tout balourd.
