The driveshaft is located between the transmission and the rear axle (differential), it has a splined sliding sleeve of the front that fits over the output shaft of the transmission. Because of the movement of the rear axle as the rear suspension deflects, this device allows additional shaft length. It connects to the axle by a bolted flange of the strap-type clamps that connect to the axle pinion yoke depending on the kind of an axle. During its manufacture it is perfectly balanced and where replacing the
Universal Joints care must be taken so that the balance is again maintained; marking each separate yoke or flange relative to that situated opposite it is necessary. Further, it will be necessary to avoid the dismantling of the assembly during service operations.
