Propeller Shaft

Driveline / Axle

• All propeller shaft fasteners are an important attaching part in that it could affect the performance of

vital parts and systems, and/or could result in major repair expense. They must be replaced with one

of the same part number or with an equivalent part if replacement becomes necessary. Do not use a

replacement part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified

during reassembly to assure proper retention of this part.

• Never attempt to heat, quench or straighten any propeller shaft part. Replace it with a new part, or

damage to the part may result.

Most universal joints and ball joints require no maintenance. They are lubricated for life and can not be lubricated on

the vehicle. If a universal joint becomes noisy or worn, it must be replaced.

The propeller shaft is a balanced unit. Handle it carefully so that balance can be maintained.
