DRIVESHAFT - FRONT
The driveshaft is a tubular shaft which transfers torque from the engine, through the transmission to the rear axle. Driveshafts; differ in length,
diameter, and type of slip-yoke to accommodate various wheelbase and powertrain combinations.
The two-piece driveshaft has a rear driveshaft and a front coupling shaft. The two-piece driveshaft incorporates three single cardan universal joints
and is supported with a driveshaft center bearing support mounted to the frame.
NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is raised on a hoist, inspect the universal joint slip yoke boot for rips or holes. Install new components if required.
NOTE: All front driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft and universal joints to prevent overspray of any
undercoating material.
The front driveshaft is connected to the case and the front drive axle by driveshaft flange yokes.
