Symptom Possible Cause Action rear drive halfshaft
Wheel bearings, brakes or
suspension components Vibration at highway speeds
Out-of-balance wheel(s) or tire(s)
Driveline out of
balance/misalignment
Driveshaft center bearing touching
body mounting point
Balance and install new wheel(s) and tire(s)
as required
REFER to: Wheel and Tire (204-04 Wheels and Tires, Removal and Installation).
For additional information,
REFER to: Driveline Angle Inspection (205-00 Driveline System - General Information,
General Procedures).
Refer to the Manufacturer approved
diagnostic system for driveshaft balancing
application
Check for correct spacer washer thickness.
Inspect and install new washers as required Shudder, Vibration During
Acceleration
Powertrain/driveline misalignment
High constant velocity (CV) joint
operating angles caused by
incorrect ride height
Check for misalignment. Install new
components as required. For driveshaft
alignment,
REFER to: Driveline Angle Inspection (205-00 Driveline System - General Information,
General Procedures).
Check the ride height and verify the correct
spring rate. Install new components as
required Lubricant Leak
Rear drive axle breather
Damaged seal
Rear drive axle filler plug
Rear drive axle rear cover joint
Check oil level and correct as required
Install new components as required Pinpoint Tests

PINPOINT TEST A : EXCESSIVE DRIVELINE NOISE TEST
CONDITIONS DETAILS/RESULTS/ACTIONS A1: CHECK NOISE FROM VEHICLE ON ROAD TEST 1 Road test vehicle to determine load and speed conditions when noise occurs. 2 Assess the noise with different gears selected. Does the noise occur in different gears at the same vehicle speed? Yes
Install a new rear drive axle/differential assembly.
REFER to: Axle Assembly - V6 3.0L Petrol (205-02 Rear Drive Axle/Differential, Removal and Installation).
Re-test the system for normal operation.
No
Suspect the engine or transmission. For additional information, REFER to:
Engine - 3.0L/4.2L (303-00 Engine System - General Information, Diagnosis and Testing), Engine - 2.7L Diesel (303-00 Engine System - General Information, Diagnosis and Testing), Diagnostic Strategy (307-01A Automatic Transmission/Transaxle - V6 3.0L Petrol, Diagnosis and Testing).

Driveshaft System Operation

The two-piece driveshaft, manufactured from lightweight tubular steel, transmits drive from the engine, via the transmission,
to the differential. The driveshaft aligns with the centerline of the vehicle’s body and is supported by a center bearing.

The driveshaft's front tube is of swaged construction, which is a crash energy management feature, designed to collapse
progressively and predictably in the event of a severe frontal impact. A low-friction splined slip-joint at the center of the
driveshaft provide the driveshaft's plunge capability.

Flexible couplings connecting the driveshaft to both the transmission and the differential counteract the angular movement of
the driveshaft caused by the driveline's acceleration and braking forces.

The center universal joint is positioned at a specified angle using shims between the center bearing and the vehicle's body.
The driveline angles have been carefully configured to balance minimum power losses with excellent vibration and wear
characteristics. The universal joint is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life.

5. NOTES:


On vehicles with diesel engine, note the illustrated
orientation of the special tool.


Make sure that the special tool is correctly installed to
the recess on the driveshaft.
Special Tool(s): 205-932

























6. CAUTION: Care must be taken not to damage the
surrounding components when using the special tool.


NOTE: Using a suitable hammer and drift, make sure
that you only hit the corner edges of the special tool to
remove the driveshaft.
