Drive/Propeller Shaft: Overhaul
Driveshaft
‹› Beginning 07.07 a one piece driveshaft, which can no longer be separated in the center, is being installed. Refer to => [ Driveshaft ] .
‹› In order to achieve quietest possible running, the entire driveshaft was balanced during manufacture. It is not possible to balance the entire
driveshaft or the individual driveshaft tubes with workshop equipment. Therefore, the entire driveshaft must always be replaced when front or rear
driveshaft tubes are damaged.
‹› Do not kink the driveshaft, only store and move when fully extended.
‹› Before removing, mark the positions of all parts in relation to each other. Reinstall in the same position otherwise imbalance will be excessive, the
bearings could be damaged causing rumbling noises.
