A constant velocity joint for use in a prop shaft of an automotive vehicle includes an outer race. The constant velocity joint also includes an inner race arranged within the outer race and a rolling element arranged between the outer race and inner race. A cage is arranged between the outer race and inner race such that the cage positions the rolling element therebetween. The constant velocity joint also includes a flange contacting the outer race. Torque is transmitted through the use of a face spline. A collar contacts the flange and outer race and secures the flange and outer race to one another in an axial direction.
