TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Note. All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft to prevent overspray of any undercoating material or an unbalanced condition may occur.
The driveshaft consists of
- spot-welded balance weights.
- a front CV joint at the Power Transfer Unit (PTU).
- a center support bearing assembly with a ground strap.
- staked and snap ring type U-joints.
- U-joint cap straps for the center U-joint.
- square flanged rear U-joint.
The driveshaft is a 2-piece shaft which transfers the rotational torque from the PTU to the rear drive axle. The driveshaft uses CV joints, U-joints and a center support for consistent operation through varying lengths and angles.
