It has a 1.500-inch major diameter, 16-spline parallel spline, and is designed to be welded into a 4.000-inch diameter driveshaft tube with a .083-inch wall thickness. It is commonly replaced when the spline end becomes worn, pitted, or damaged, restoring a secure connection to the transmission or differential yoke. The shaft is made of steel and has a Glidecote coating on the spline for smoother engagement.
