Driveshaft

Driveshaft

All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If the vehicle is to be undercoated, cover the driveshaft assembly to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.

The driveshaft has the following features:
^ A tubular shaft used to transfer torque from the engine, through the transmission to the ring and pinion in the rear axle, which transmits the torque to the wheels.
^ Consists of 2 single cardan universal Joints, a driveshaft slip yoke and a driveshaft centering socket yoke.
^ The splined slip-yoke permits the driveshaft to move forward and rearward on the transmission output shaft during drivetrain movement.

Universal Joints have the following:
^ A lubed-for-life design
^ Nylon thrust washers, located at each base of the bearing cup, which control end play, position the needle bearings and improve grease movement
^ 1350 series universal joints (standard) with a 92.07 mm (3.62 inch) span (span measurements are with bearing cups fully seated on the spider) and 30.18 mm (1.18 inch) bearing cups
