摘要： A power transmission device includes a housing, first and second shafts and a generally tubular boot. The housing has an aperture that at least the first shaft passes through. The first and second shafts are coupled together through a splined connection causing the shafts to rotate with one another while allowing axial translation between the shafts. The boot includes a first end engaged with the first shaft and a second end engaged with the second shaft. The first end of the boot includes a flange having an insert located therein. A portion of the first end biasedly engages the first shaft thereby eliminating the need for a clamp previously required.
