| 1. A constant velocity joint comprising:
an outer race having a cylindrical hollow part whose one end opens at an end edge surface and whose inner surface has plural
tracks;
an inner race disposed in the outer race to move angularly and longitudinally;
plural torque transmitting elements disposed between the outer and inner races; projections plastically formed in the tracks
at the opening end of the cylindrical hollow part; and
bores provided by driving a pin in the end edge surface of the cylindrical hollow part at circumferential locations of the
end edge surface of the cylindrical hollow part corresponding to the circumferential locations of the projections.
