Disassembly and Assembly

DRIVESHAFT RECONDITION

NOTE: The only service that is to be performed on the driveshaft assemblies is the replacement of the driveshaft seal boots.

If any failure of internal driveshaft components is diagnosed during a vehicle road test or disassembly of the driveshaft, the driveshaft will need to be replaced as an assembly.

NOTE: Lubricant requirements and quantities are different for inner joints than for outer joints. Use only the recommended lubricants in the required quantities when servicing driveshaft assemblies.
