What happens here

The presenter inspects the new custom-made drive shafts, which include a long and a short version. He notes that the front yoke from the old drive shaft was reused. The quality of the black finish on the new shafts (Red Horse brand) is highlighted as an aesthetic improvement over standard fittings. The purpose of the drive shafts is to transmit power from the transmission to the differential.

Goal: Confirm drive shaft specifications and readiness for installation.

Tools and materials

  • Front Drive Shaft Red Horse — Transmitting power to the front wheels
  • Old Front Yoke — Reused component for the drive shaft assembly
  • Rear Drive Shaft Red Horse — Transmitting power to the rear wheels
