Frequently Asked Questions
The FRC5449 front output shaft transfers torque from the LT230 transfer box to the front propeller shaft or differential input and is machined to engage the locking main differential. It carries radial and axial loads through its splines and mating bearings; wear to splines, journals or sealing faces can interrupt power delivery or cause vibration. Replacing a worn or damaged shaft restores the correct mechanical connection on LT230 installations fitted with a locking main differential.
