Driveshaft (G1574103): Introduction
Driveshafts are used to transmit drive from the transfer case to the front and rear differentials.
The front driveshaft is a one piece unit, connected to the transfer case and front differential unit via CV (Constant Velocity) joints.
The rear drive shaft is a two piece unit, supported on a central bearing due to its increased length. The rear driveshaft is connected to the transfer case and the rear differential via CV and UJ (Universal Joint) joints. These joints allow for angular deviations of the driveshaft due to acceleration and braking.
The front and rear driveshafts are not serviceable items and failure will require the replacement of the complete driveshaft assembly.
