Propeller Shaft

The propeller shaft assembly consists of a one-piece aluminum tube (2) and front and rear constant velocity type joints (1 and 3). The rear velocity joint (3) is a plunging type design and will plunge forward and rearward as required. Dust boots, at each joint, contain the joint lubricating grease and protect the components from the dirt and debris. The propeller shaft assembly is retained to the transfer case output flange and the rear differential input flange by retaining bolts. The propeller shaft is serviced as an assembly.
