Abstract
An method for manufacturing an assembly of first and second components, such as an end fitting and a driveshaft tube for use in a vehicular drive train system. Initially, a yoke is provided including a body having a recess provided therein and a pair of yoke arms. The recess defines an inner body portion and an outer body portion in the yoke. A portion of a driveshaft tube inserted within the recess between the inner body portion and the outer body portion. If desired, one or more retaining structures or an adhesive material may be provided on either or both of the driveshaft tube or the yoke. Then, a magnetic pulse forming process is performed to deform the outer body portion of the body of the yoke into engagement with the portion of the driveshaft tube to provide a combined driveshaft tube and yoke assembly.
