Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear-position fitment on the vehicle before installation. Confirm overall length, compressed length, and triprong end configuration against the original shaft to ensure proper alignment. Inspect companion flanges, mounting points, and surrounding driveline components for wear before installing the new assembly. Because this shaft is not greaseable and does not include a slip yoke, match the original driveline design during replacement.
