If the transmission or transfer case end has a splined yoke, cover it with a plastic bag to prevent fluid loss and contamination.

A driveshaft is a tube or pair of tubes that transmits power between the transmission or transfer case on 4WD models and the differential. Universal joints are located at either end of the driveshaft and in the center on two-piece driveshafts. Driveshafts on 2WD models have a splined yoke at the front that slips into the extension housing of the transmission, allowing the driveshaft to slide back and forth. An oil seal prevents leakage at this point. Driveshafts on 4WD models have a splined yoke or companion flange at the transfer case end, and two-piece driveshafts usually have a slip joint at the front of the rear section. Center bearings support the driveline when two-piece driveshafts are used. The driveshaft assembly requires little service, with the universal joints being lubricated for life and replaced if problems occur. The driveshaft should be cleaned and inspected for damage when the vehicle is raised for service, and the small weights used to balance the driveshaft should be securely attached. Problems with the driveshaft are usually indicated by noise or vibration while driving, and a road test can help determine if the driveshaft is the issue.
