    NOTE:

    • If abnormal vibration and noise occur at high vehicle speeds after replacing propeller shaft with a new one, balance the propeller shaft with a balancing machine.
    • When removing the propeller shaft, after removing the transfer assembly side or the rear differential side, if the propeller shaft is left down, the internal parts may be damaged.
