Abstract: A torque transfer assembly including a drive shaft with external splines. A first proximal groove and a first distal groove of the drive shaft are spaced apart at a first distance. A driven member includes a hub configured to receive the drive shaft. The hub includes internal splines, a second proximal groove, a second distal groove, and a slit. The second proximal groove and the second distal groove are spaced apart at a second distance equal to the first distance. A first retention member is configured to be inserted into the slit and into cooperation with the first proximal groove when the drive shaft is seated in the hub. The first distal groove of the drive shaft aligns with the second proximal groove of the hub when the drive shaft is within the hub such that the first proximal groove of the drive shaft is aligned with the slit.

Abstract: Vehicles, wheel assemblies for vehicles, and methods for suppressing noise from vehicles are provided. A wheel assembly for a vehicle includes a knuckle; a wheel hub configured to rotate within the knuckle, the wheel hub extending from a proximal end to a distal end, wherein the distal end is configured for engaging a wheel; a constant velocity (CV) joint configured for transferring torque from power plant to the wheel hub, wherein the CV joint has an outer surface including a shoulder; a recess formed between the proximal end of the wheel hub and the shoulder of the CV joint; and a noise-canceling washer positioned in the recess, wherein the noise-canceling washer abuts the proximal end of the wheel hub and the shoulder of the CV joint.
