NOTE: Whenever the vehicle is raised on a hoist, inspect the universal joint slip yoke boot (4421) for rips or holes. Install new if required.

NOTE: All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft (4602) and universal joints to prevent application of any undercoating material.

NOTE: The constant velocity (CV) joint on the front driveshaft is not serviceable.

The front driveshaft is connected to the transfer case and the front drive axle by a driveshaft flange yoke (4866).
