Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
Driveshaft
All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If the vehicle is to be undercoated, cover the driveshaft assembly to prevent overspray of any undercoating
material.
The driveshaft has the following features:
-
A tubular shaft used to transfer torque from the engine, through the transmission to the ring and pinion in the rear axle, which transmits the torque
to the wheels.
-
Consists of two single cardan universal joints, a driveshaft slip-yoke and a driveshaft centering socket yoke.
-
The splined slip-yoke permits the driveshaft to move forward and rearward on the transmission output shaft during drivetrain movement.
