It provides a slip joint between the transmission and the driveshaft, allowing the driveline to change length as the suspension moves. The part features a 1.500‑inch diameter, 16‑spline stub that slides into a mating slip yoke, and a 3.0‑inch diameter tube with a 0.083‑inch wall thickness. It is replaced when spline wear causes driveline vibration, clunking, or when the tube is bent or damaged.
