GENERAL
Drive shafts are used to transmit drive from the transfer box to the front and rear differentials.
The front drive shaft is a one-piece unit, connected to the transfer box and front differential unit via Constant Velocity (CV)
joints.
The rear drive shaft is a two-piece unit, supported on a central bearing due to its increased length. The rear drive shaft is
connected to the transfer box via a CV joint and the rear differential with a universal joint. These joints allow for angular
deviations of the drive shaft due to acceleration and braking.
The front and rear drive shafts are not serviceable items and a failure will require the replacement of the complete drive
shaft assembly.
