TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Note. Use caution when handling driveshafts as any slight dent in the driveshaft could result in a vibration.
Note. All driveshaft assemblies are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.
The driveshafts have the following features
- A 1-piece driveshaft assembly consists of 2 driveshaft centering socket yokes, 2 single-cardan U-joints, a driveshaft slip tube boot, 2 driveshaft slip tube boot clamps and 2 welded tube assemblies
- A 1-piece carbon-fiber driveshaft assembly consists of 2 driveshaft centering CV joints
- A 2-piece driveshaft consists of a driveshaft centering socket flange, a single-cardon U-joint, a center bearing and 2 CV joints
- CV joints are not repairable
A driveshaft is a tubular shaft or shafts used to transfer engine torque from the transmission output shaft to the differential in the axle housing. The driveshaft must be able to rotate smoothly through a range of acceptable angles and lengths occurring during normal driving conditions. The single-cardan U-joints permit the change in driveshaft angularity with the slip yoke providing the allowable variance in length. The CV-equipped driveshafts control angle and length changes through the CV joints and use a center support bearing for driveshaft stability.
