rear driveshaft slip joint
« on: June 03, 2014, 07:21:47 PM »
Anyone know how to set the slipjoint on the rear driveshaft? There is a threaded collar. Manuals acknowledge it but dont state how to set it

What are you referring to as "set it"?

There is a packing under the nut, tighted the nut enough the packing seals on the shaft.

As torque stated it only holds a dust seal in place. Tighten it snug, but no need to be overly forceful.
***** One important item to note is "phasing". Be sure you've put the driveline back together so that it is "in phase".
