PROPELLER SHAFTS

NOTE:

 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 replace-

ment part of lesser quality or substitute design. Torque values must be used as specified during reas-

sembly 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 dam-

age to the part may result.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Most universal 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.
