  1. Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

    The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and, if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The U-joints or CV joints at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque is introduced into the axle differential which drives the axles/halfshaft.

    Possible Sources 

    • Driveshaft CV joint and/or U-joint binding

  2. F1 INSPECT THE DRIVESHAFT CV (CONSTANT VELOCITY) JOINT AND/OR U-JOINT FOR A BINDING
