What This Part Helps Address

  • Loss of smooth rear-wheel power transfer

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the measurement from end of flange face to end of input shaft before installation. Confirm rear-position fitment and compare the original shaft length, flange style, and driveline configuration against the vehicle listing. Because this is a driveline component, proper alignment and torque procedures are important for smooth operation after installation.
