Drive/Propeller Shaft: Description and Operation
PROPELLER SHAFT
DESCRIPTION
A two-piece driveshaft links the transmission and rear axle through two flexible disks and one universal joint to minimize driveline vibrations.
WARNING
Use exact replacement hardware for attaching the propeller shafts. Exact replacement with original Mopar parts will ensure safe operation. The
specified torque must always be applied when tightening any fasteners.
CAUTION: Propeller shafts are balanced by the manufacturer. Before undercoating a vehicle, the propeller shaft and universal joints should be
covered. This will prevent the undercoating from causing an unbalanced condition and vibration.
CAUTION: Never allow the propeller shaft to drop or hang from universal joint during removal. Suspend the shaft to the vehicles underside with
wire to prevent damage to the universal joints.
CAUTION: Protect the machined external surface of the slip yoke from damage after propeller shaft removal.
If damaged, the transmission extension seal could be damaged and cause a leak.
