How to remove and install the driveshaft?

To remove and install the driveshaft, start by raising the rear of the vehicle and supporting it securely. Mark the relationship of the driveshaft to the companion flange on the rear axle pinion. Disconnect the rear universal joint by removing the nuts from the U-bolts or strap retaining bolts, or by removing the flange bolts. Lower the rear end of the driveshaft and withdraw the complete shaft assembly to the rear. During removal, the front splined sliding sleeve section will be drawn off the transmission output shaft, potentially causing a small amount of lubricant loss in vehicles with a manual transmission. When installing, align the shaft to flange mating marks and be careful not to damage the transmission extension oil seal with the sliding joint splines. Finally, check the transmission oil level once installation is complete.

Chevrolet Caprice Drive Shaft

In reference to the Chevrolet car models particularly the Caprice, it is a feature that transmits the power and torque from the engine or transmission to the drive wheels. In the drivetrain, it serves a function of transmitting mechanical power and rotation, especially where the axes of some parts are misaligned with each other using the universal joints or splined joints. As mentioned earlier this depends with the design of the car but in rear-wheel drive cars, the Drive Shaft usually joins the engine to the rear axle while in front-wheel drive cars, it transmits power to the front wheels. Various kinds of these Driveshafts include the one-piece Driveshaft, the two-piece Driveshaft, and the slip-in-tube Driveshaft that is either applied singularly or in combination in the models of Caprice with all-wheel drive assemblies set up together with numerous drive shafts for increased operational performance and safety.

Each OEM Chevrolet Caprice Drive Shaft we offer is competitively priced and comes with the assurance of the manufacturer's warranty for the part.
