Buying a used drive shaft: what to check
- Flex universal joints and CV boots: Articulate each U-joint by hand to check for stiff binding, rusted needle bearings, or torn rubber constant-velocity boots.
- Inspect slip yoke splines and balance weights: Check male splines for twisting or galling, and verify that welded steel balance weights are present along the tube.
- Examine center carrier bearing rubber: Inspect two-piece driveshaft center bearings for cracked rubber mounting rings or noisy, dry support bearings.
- Measure overall compressed length: Verify flange-to-flange operating length exactly, as transmission options and wheelbase variations alter shaft dimensions.
- Index flange alignment before installation: Mark mating yokes to the differential flange before installation to prevent high-speed driveline vibration.
