Finally, the axles. The inner cut axles/CV Joints for the Honda transmission were bought separately and were connected to the original Suzuki shafts. The outer CV joints will be Alto's original ones, while the inners ones are the Honda ones. There was no welding involved in making these drive shafts. They were properly made, with splines cut into the shafts, matching the tripods of the inner cv joints, locked into place with a lock ring.
The inner cv joints were fitted into the transmission and then measurements were taken to the rear face of the hub. The axles were then made based on this measurement, with room left in the measurement for the inner tripod to move freely.
The axles are back from the machine shop, properly splined and fitted. The boot on the outer CV joint of the smaller shaft was of the incorrect size, it was then changed.
The CV joints were filled with CV joint grease. The grease on the inner CV joints was mixed with Liqui Moly's MOS2 Anti Friction, while the outer ones were not. 90grams of grease was measured and filled into each CV joint.
The axles are test-fitted in the car, the length appears to be perfect. This is not the actual angle that the axles operate on, since the car was on jack stands, they were almost fully extended when these photos were taken.
