General repair notes
^
Do not bend the driveshaft maximum permissible bending angle is 25°. Otherwise the universal joint may be damaged.
^
Only store and move driveshaft fully extended.
^
No repair work can be performed on the driveshaft - with the exception of removing and installing and adjustment work.
^
If the driveshaft is only detached at the transmission or from rear final drive, it must be tied up or supported at the constant velocity joints.
^
Mark positions of all parts to each other before removing. Reinstall in identical position otherwise imbalance will be too high which could result in
damage to the bearing or in vibration noises.

If there are complaints (noises, vibrations) it is essential to check whether correct adjustment of the driveshaft eliminates the symptoms before the
driveshaft is replaced.

After disconnecting driveshaft from rear final drive, an additional balance washer (thick washer) that may be located between shim and bolt head
may not be reinstalled.
