Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of rotating unbalance mass on vibration characteristics of the front axle. The power-train systemof the vehicle is composed of several rotating parts. These component parts should be properly balanced by the balancing machine, however,sometimes these have the unbalance mass which causes the critical vibration in the vehicle. Therefore, this study suggests the vibration improvement method based on reducing the unbalance mass through changing the assembly type between the companion flange and the constant velocity joints. In addition, the way to increase the inertia moment of the companion flange was proposed.
