CAUTION: All driveshafts are balanced. If undercoating the vehicle, protect the driveshaft and universal joints to prevent overspray of any undercoating material.

NOTE: Refer to driveshaft runout and balance, and indexing procedures.

Driveshafts differ in length, diameter, and type of yoke to accommodate various wheelbase and powertrain combinations

The front driveshaft uses one universal joint to connect the flange yoke at each end of the driveshaft. Inspect the front driveshaft slip yoke rubber boot for rips and holes. Install new components as necessary.

The rear driveshaft is connected to the pinion flange by the driveshaft flange yoke with four bolts. It is connected to the transmission or transfer case with a driveshaft slip yoke.
