DESCRIPTION

WARNING: Due to propeller shaft imbalance concerns, rear propeller shaft service is limited to center support bearing and coupler

-

Rear shaft segments

-

Center support bearing/bracket assembly

-

Single-cardan u-joint at rear segment/bearing interface

-

Rubber couplers at transmission and rear axle flanges
