SERVICE ACTION Q041: Front Differential to Propeller Shaft Spline Wear - Repair Procedure





AFFECTED VEHICLE RANGE

CONDITION SUMMARY:

Situation:

The front differential coupling sleeve and propeller shaft may be misaligned resulting in spline wear over time. As the wear between the propeller shaft and differential spline progresses, noise and vibration will be generated. If the driver continues to operate the vehicle and either ignores the noise and vibration or is unaware of it, the wear could eventually result in a loss of drive.

Action:

Refer the Repair Procedure section of this bulletin for instructions on performing the Front Differential and Propeller shaft coupling repair.
