Driveshaft

Driveshaft

NOTE: 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.
