Driveshafts & Final Drive
9.1 MAJOR COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Power is transmitted from the gearbox to the final drive unit via a two piece drive shaft (formerly known as ‘propeller
shaft’) which is supported by a center bearing. Isolation from vibration and transmitted harshness is suppressed by
rubber mounting of both the center bearing and the connection of the drive shaft to differential drive flange.
The
hypoid final drive assembly is available with either a conventional, or a limited slip differential.
The limited slip, ‘Powr
-LoK unit may be identified by either a tag carrying the legend ’PC or a label with an ‘X, both
to be found on the rear cover.
U
Forged axle shafts (formerly known as ‘drive shaft’) transmit drive from the differential to the rear wheels, each shaft
having two universal joints. The axle shaft acts as an upper suspension link and controls static wheel camber by insertion of appropriate shims between the final drive unit and axle shaft inner flanges. Each axle shaft is supported
at the outer end by preloaded taper roller bearings housed in a cast aluminium hub carrier.

SRO 47.15.51
CAUTION: To preserve 'drive line' refinement, individual parts, other than fixings, MUST NOT be renewed. In the
event of any balance or drive shaft component related problem, the complete assembly must be renewed.
Under no circumstances must the flexible coupling (or its fixings) be loosened or removed from the drive
shaft flange.
Preliminary Checks
Before this procedure is actioned it is advisable to ensure that:
The gearbox mounting center stud is positioned centrally in relation to the crossmember inspection hole.
The crossmember is central on the body fixings and not 'hard over' to one side.
The differential spigot radial
run-out is within specification, see preliminary pages.
If the vehicle has been standing for
a period the tires may be 'flat-spotted'. If so, this will clear in approximate.;
400 km (250 miles). After this distance the source of vibration should be reassessed.

Disconnect vehicle battery ground lead.
. Support the vehicle at the rear.
OUTPUT SHAFT END FLOAT, CHECK
Mount a dial test indicator (DTI) to the differential housing with the probe resting on the output shaft flange (DTI probe must be parallel to the output shaft center line and NOT at an angle).
. Push the wheel 1 shaft assembly inwards and zero the DTI; pull outwards and note the reading.
. If the end float exceeds 0,15 mm; firstly verify the shim preload and if this is found to be correct, renew the output
shaft bearing. See 51.10.22. this section, for shim check and renew operations.

. Remove the retaining nut, washer and drive flange.
CAUTION: Use only special tools; 18G 1205 to restrict rotation and JD 156 to remove drive flange.
. Inspect the drive flange oil seal surface for damage corrosion or grooving and replace as necessary.
