Driveshaft

Section 205-01 · Description and operation · revised 05/01/2006

NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is raised on a hoist, inspect the universal joint slip yoke boot for rips or holes. Install new if required.

NOTE: All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft and universal joints to prevent application of any undercoating material.

NOTE: The constant velocity (CV) joint on the front driveshaft is not serviceable.

The driveshaft accommodates the change in length in the driveline system. The driveshaft transfers input to the rear axle. The driveshaft is composed of the universal joints (U-joints), connecting shafts and the attaching yokes.
