It is a splined steel shaft that slides into a slip yoke or companion flange, allowing the driveshaft to change length as the suspension moves. The 1.750-inch, 34-spline involute design transmits torque from the transmission to the midship bearing and then to the rear axle. Replace this shaft when splines are worn, twisted, or causing driveline vibration, or when upgrading to a stronger 1610-series driveline.
