Fitted between the transfer box and the rear axle, this shaft transmits rotational torque down the vehicle to the rear differential while accommodating suspension movement and driveline angle changes. Correct length and flange/stub arrangement are essential for alignment and to avoid premature wear of universal joints and the rear differential input; confirm the shaft length and V.I.N. range to match the original assembly when replacing.
