NOTICE: Care must be exercised to prevent the drive axle joints from being over-extended. When either end of the shaft is disconnected,
over-extension of the joint could result in separation of the internal components and possible joint failure. Drive axle joint boot protectors should
be used any time service is performed on or near the drive axles. Failure to observe this can result in interior joint or boot damage and possible
joint failure.
