( Constant Velocity Joint ) Aon de na h-innealan beaga cruinn aig ceann aiseil air bus. Tha busaichean, Vanagons, agus EuroVans a' dol a dh'aithghearr ceithir dhiubh, fhad 's a tha Syncro Vanagons a' dol a dh'aithghearr ochd dhiubh. Tha e seo a dhìth airson aiseil a dh'fhaighinn gluasad suas agus sìos fhad 's a tha e a' dol a dh'fhàgail a' chàr. feumaidh na h-eangalan a bhith air a glasadh le greas airson a bhith a' dol gu math. nuair a tha iad air a dhol a dh'fhàs sean, tha iad a' dol a dh'fhàgail fuaim chluasalach a tha a' buailte eagal ann an cridhean uain a' bhùs aig àite sam bith.

( Constant Velocity Joint ) One of the small circular devices at an end of an axle on a bus . Buses , Vanagons , and EuroVans have four of these, while the Syncro Vanagons have a total of eight. These are necessary to allow the axle to move up and down while still turning to propel the car. the joints need to be keep greased to function properly. when they are worn, they make a knocking-noise that strikes fear into the hearts of bus owners everywhere. Microbuses do not have CV joints, but use a 'swing-axle' and reduction gear box instead.
