Driveshaft
DriveshaftNOTE: Whenever the vehicle is raised on a hoist, inspect the universal Joint seals for rips or holes. Install new U-joints, as necessary.
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. All driveline shafts are balanced.
The E-450 vehicle has a 2-piece driveshaft that is supported by a driveshaft center bearing support mounted to the frame.
