Propeller Shaft Joints
DESCRIPTION
Fig. 5
Fig. 6
Two different types of propeller shaft joints are used in AN vehicles (Fig. 5) and (Fig. 6). None of the joints are serviceable. If worn or damaged, they
must be replaced as a complete assembly.
LUBRICATION
The factory installed universal joints are lubricate for the life of the vehicle and do not need lubrication. All universal joints should be inspected for
leakage and damage each time the vehicle is serviced. If seal leakage or damage exists, the universal joint should be replaced.
