studies also focused on the changes in lubricant properties under thermal conditions due to the reciprocating motion of Tripod joint [5, 6]. Considering Tripod housing as a Stepped shaft under bending and torsional moments with bearing supports, this paper evaluates the safety factor using FEA and compares it with analytical value of F.O.S. Analytical value of F.O.S. is found using basic principles of Machine Design  and Engineering Mec  hanics. The worst-case scenario, that is, force on the tire when  hitting a bump and max initial torque on single drive tire when the other tire is not loaded is considered as input condition.  The results will hel  p to determine the closeness or correctness of the Finite element
