Halfshaft Reconditioning Procedure

NOTE: The only service which is to be performed on the halfshaft assemblies is the replacement of the halfshaft seal boots.

If any failure of internal halfshaft components is diagnosed during a vehicle road test or disassembly of the halfshaft, the halfshaft will need to be replaced as an assembly.

NOTE: Lubricant requirements and quantities are different for inner joints than for outer joints. Use only the recommended lubricants.
