Driveshaft with counter-track joint

A driveshaft assembly comprising:

• an intermediate shaft;
• a first constant velocity joint connected to one end of the intermediate shaft;
• and
• a second constant velocity fixed ball joint in the form of a counter-track joint connected to the other end of the intermediate shaft, the counter-track joint comprising an outer joint part (11) having first and second outer tracks (161, 162), an inner joint part (21) having first and second inner tracks (261, 262), and a ball cage (31) with cage windows (34) in which torque-transmitting balls are held in a common plane and are guided on to an angle-bisecting plane when the joint is articulated, said first outer tracks (161) and first inner tracks (261) forming first pairs of tracks which diverge from one another in a first axial direction (R1) towards the connection end of the inner joint part (21) and hold first balls (361), said second outer tracks (162) and second inner tracks (262) forming second pairs of tracks which diverge from one another in a second axial direction (R2) towards the connection end of the outer joint part (11) and hold second balls (362), wherein each first pair of tracks (161, 261) is radially opposite another first pair of tracks (161, 261) and each second pair of tracks (162, 262) is radially opposite another second pair of tracks (162, 262).
