Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
CAUTION: All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft and universal joints to prevent overspray of any
undercoating material.
NOTE: Refer to driveshaft runout and balance, and indexing procedures.
Driveshafts differ in length, diameter, and type of slip-yoke to accommodate various wheelbase and powertrain combinations.
The two-piece driveshaft has a rear driveshaft and a front coupling shaft. The two-piece driveshaft incorporates three single cardan universal joints
and is supported with a driveshaft center bearing support which is mounted to the frame.
The front driveshaft is connected to the transfer case and the front drive axle by flanges.
Inspect the driveshaft slip yoke rubber boot for rips and holes. Install new components as necessary.
