1. OVERVIEW
The propeller shaft transfers the power through the transmission and transfer case to the
front/rear axle differential carrier (final reduction gear). It is manufactured by a thin rounded steel
pipe to have the strong resisting force against the torsion and bending. Both ends of propeller
shaft are connected to the spider and the center of propeller shaft is connected to the spline to
accommodate the changes of the height and length. The rubber bushing that covers the
intermediate bearing keeps the balance of rear propeller shaft and absorbs its vibration.
