Jeep 52123622AA Shaft Drive 2-Piece

The driveshaft is tubular in shape and may have as single or a double section. In the 4WD models, one can find the front driveshaft mated with a flange at the front axle pinion while the transfer case connection may incorporate a bolted flange or the splined sliding sleeve connected to the output shaft. The coupling between the rear driveshaft and the rear axle pinion flange is a bolted flange; the attachment between the rear driveshaft and the transmission or transfer case could well be a bolted flange or splined sliding sleeve. The type of connection depends with the transmission. For the two-section support is given near the forward end by a ball bearing fitted in a bracket fixed on the frame cross member. During manufacture, the driveshaft is balanced to a very high degree, and it is recommended that much care is taken to ensure that any changes to the universal joints do not affect this on the particular shaft. There are usually better chances having this done at a dealership or a shop that mainly offers XV,Cross parts. The signs should be marked according to the position of each yoke with reference to the other in order to maintain balance or symmetry and during servicing the assembly, care has to be taken not to let the assembly drop.
