What happens here
Reinstall the drive shaft into the truck by first sliding the spline shaft into the transmission. Then, align the carrier bearing with the frame mounting points and secure it with the four bolts. Finally, align the rear U-joint with the differential yoke, ensuring the marks made earlier match up, and secure it with the four bolts. Once installed, take the truck for a test drive to confirm the vibration issue is resolved.
Goal: Return the drive shaft to the vehicle and verify successful repair.
Tools and materials
- Impact Driver DeWalt — Tightening bolts
- Socket Set — Matching the size of the U-joint and carrier bearing bolts
