Important: Maintaining Driveline Reference

Important: The driveline components on this vehicle have been factory system balanced. System balancing provides a smoother running driveline operation. However, it is essential that the positions of all driveline components relative to the propeller shaft and rear axle be observed and ACCURATELY REFERENCE MARKED PRIOR TO DISASSEMBLY. These components include the propeller shaft, rear axle, differential drive pinion gear yoke. ALL COMPONENTS MUST BE REASSEMBLED INTO THE EXACT RELATIONSHIP TO EACH OTHER AS THEY WERE WHEN REMOVED. Additionally, the published specifications and torque values, as well as any measurements made prior to disassembly must be followed to maintain the factory balance.
