It features a 1.500-inch diameter, 10-spline male end that mates with a slip yoke, and a weld end designed to be permanently joined to a 3.5-inch diameter by 0.095-inch wall steel tube. This component transmits torque from the transmission to the rear axle(s) while allowing for length changes. Replace it when the splines exhibit excessive wear, twisting, or galling, or when fabricating a new driveshaft.
