Removal And Installation: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Fiat 500X. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:

Propeller shaft removal is a two-person operation. Never allow propeller shaft to hang from the center bearing, or while only connected to power transfer unit (PTU) or rear driveline module flanges. A helper is required. If a propshaft section is hung unsupported, damage may occur to the joint, boot, and center bearing from over-angulation. This may result in driveline vibrations.

NOTE:

Lightly apply grease to the splines prior to installation.
