Propeller Shaft Construction

Universal joints and ball joint require no maintenance. They are lubricated for life and can not be lubricated on the vehicle. If a universal joint becomes noisy or worn, it must be replaced.

The propeller shaft is a balanced unit. Handle it carefully so that balance can be maintained.
