DRIVE SHAFT TESTS

DRIVE LINE BALANCE CHECK

If detailed parts
of the
drive shaft

are replaced
and
shaft vibration
is en-

countered after installation, disconnect

the shaft
at the
slip yoke. Rotate
the

slip yoke
180
degrees; then, reconnect

the shaft
to the
slip yoke.
If the
vibra-

tion persists, disconnect
the
shaft
at

the rear axle companion flange.
Ro-

tate
the
companion flange
180
degrees

and reconnect
the
shaft
to the
flange.
DRIVE LINE ANGLE CHECK

Vibration
or
"shudder" which
is no-

ticeable either
on
fast acceleration
or

when coasting, using
the
engine
for a

brake,
may be
caused
by the
rear axle

housing being loose
on the
rear

springs
or by
improper pinion angle.

Refer
to
Group
3,
Part
2 for
pinion

angle checking procedures.
If the
rear

axle U-bolts (Fairlane, Montego,

Mustang, Cougar, Falcon models
only)
are
loose, torque
the
nuts
to

specification.

DRIVE SHAFT RUNOUT CHECK

Using
a
dial indicator, check
the

runout
at
each
end and in the
middle

of
the
driveshaft.
The
rear check

should
be
made
on the
small tube
sec-

tion
of the
shaft between
the
balance

weights
and the
yoke welds. Drive-

shaft runout should
not
exceed 0.035

inch
at any one
point.

DESCRIPTION

The drive shaft
is the
means
of

transferring power from
the
engine,

through
the
transmission,
to the dif-
ferential
in the
rear axle,
and
then
to

the rear wheels.
The
drive shaft incor-

porates
two
universal joints
and a
slip
yoke
(Fig. 1) or two
double cardan

universal joints,
one at
each
end of the

shaft (Figs.
2 and 3).

cardan has a center yoke (or cage), a

centering socket yoke, and a stud

yoke which is welded to each end of

the tube assembly. The splines in the

yoke and on the transmission output

shaft permit the drive shaft to move

forward and rearward as the axle

moves up and down.

All drive shafts are balanced. If the

vehicle is to be undercoated, cover the

drive shaft and universal joints to pre-

vent application of the undercoating

material.

REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

REMOVAL

1.
To maintain drive line balance,

mark the relationship of the rear drive

shaft yoke and the drive pinion flange

of the axle (if the yellow alignment

marks are not visible) with the shaft

so that they may be installed in their

original positions.

2.
Disconnect the rear U-joint or

rear double cardan joint from the

companion flange. Wrap tape around

the loose bearing caps to prevent

them from falling off the spider. Pull

the drive shaft toward the rear of the

vehicle until the slip yoke clears the

transmission extension housing and

the seal. On Lincoln Continental

models, remove the three roller bear-

ing assemblies off the spline teeth in-

side the slip yoke (Fig. 3). Install the

appropriate tool in the extension

housing to prevent lubricant leakage.

INSTALLATION

1.
If either the rubber seal on the

output shaft or the seal in the end of

the transmission extension housing is
damaged in any manner, replace the

seal or seals as required. Also, if the

lugs on the axle pinion flange are

shaved or distorted so that the bear-

ings slide, replace the flange.

2.
On Lincoln Continental models,

install the bearing assemblies over the

spline teeth in the slip yoke. Lubricate

the yoke spline with B8A-19589-A lu-

bricant. This spline is sealed so that

the transmission fluid does not

"wash" away the spline lubricant

(Figs.
4 and 5). Remove the tool from
the extension housing. Install the yoke

on the transmission output shaft. Do

not allow the yoke assembly to bot-

tom on the output shaft with excessive

force.

Install the drive shaft so that the

index marks or the yellow mark (if

visible) on the yoke (light side) is in

line with the yellow mark on the com-

panion flange. This prevents vibration

which occurs when the balance of the

shaft and balance of the axle pinion

flange become additive instead of neu-

If a
vibration exists,
the

drive shaft should
be
disconnected

from
the
axle, rotated 180 degrees
and

reinstalled.

3.
Install
the
U-blots
and
nuts that

attach
the
U-joint
to the
drive pinion

flange. Torque
the
U-bolt nuts
to

specification.
On
vehicles equipped

taching bolts. Torque
the
bolts
to spe-

cification.

DRIVESHAFT BALANCING

(SINGLE UNIVERSAL JOINT)

If rotating
the
driveshaft
180 de-

grees does
not
eliminate vibration,
the

driveshaft
may be
balanced using
the

following procedure:

1.
Place
the
vehicle
on a
twin post

hoist
so
that
the
rear
of the
vehicle
is

supported
on the
rear axle housing

with
the
wheels free
to
rotate.

2.
With
the
driveshaft rotating
at a

speedometer speed
of
40-50
mph,
carefully bring
a
crayon
or
colored

pencil
up
until
it
just barely contacts

the rearward
end of
driveshaft
(Fig.

6).
The
mark made
by the
crayon
or

pencil will indicate
the
heavy side
of

the shaft. Care should
be
exercised

when working near
the
balance

weights
to
prevent injury
to the
hands.

3.
Install
two
Whittek type hose

clamps
on the
driveshaft
so
that
the

heads
are
located
180
degrees from

the crayon marking
(Fig. 7).
Tighten

the clamps.
4.
Run the
vehicle
up to
65-70
mph

speedometer speed.
If no
vibration
is

felt, lower
the
vehicle
and
road test.
If

unbalance still exists rotate
the
clamp

heads approximately
45
degrees away

from each other
and
test
for
vibration

(Fig.
8).

5.
Continue
to
rotate
the
clamp

heads apart
in
smaller amounts until

vibration
is
eliminated.
To
prevent

overheating,
do not run the
vehicle

on
the
hoist
for an
extended period.

6. Road test

procedures, a sharp rap on the yokes

with a brass hammer will seat the

bearings needles and usually provide

freedom of movement. Care must be

taken to support the shaft end during

this operation, as well as preventing

blows to the bearings themselves. Do

not install the drive shaft unless the

universal joints are free of bind.

DISASSEMBLY (DOUBLE

CARDAN JOINT — LINCOLN

CONTINENTAL — DANA DESIGN)

1.
Mark the position of the spiders,

the center yoke, and the centering

socket yoke as related to the stud

yoke which is welded to the front of

the drive shaft tube. The spiders must

be assembled with the bosses in their

original position to provide proper

clearance.

2.
Remove the snap rings that se-

cure the bearings in the front of the

center yoke.

3.
Position the tool as shown in

Fig. 11. Thread the tool clockwise

until the bearing protrudes approxi-

mately 3/8 inch out of the yoke.

4.
Remove the drive shaft from the

vise.

5.
Tighten the bearing in the vise

and drive on the center yoke as shown

in Fig. 12 to free it from the bearing.

7.
Reposition the tool on the yoke

and move the remaining bearing in the

opposite direction so that it protrudes

approximately 3/8 inch out of the

yoke.

8. Grip the bearing in a vise. Drive

on the center yoke to free it from the

bearing (Fig. 12).

9. Remove the spider from the cen-

ter yoke.

10.
Pull the centering socket yoke

off the center stud (Fig. 14). Remove

the rubber seal from the centering ball

stud.

11.
Remove the snap rings from the

center yoke and from the drive shaft

yoke.

12.
Position the tool on the drive

shaft yoke (Fig. 15) and press the

bearing outward until the inside of the

center yoke almost contacts the sling-

er ring at the front of the drive shaft

yoke. Pressing beyond this point can

distort the slinger ring. The arrow in

Fig. 16 illustrates the interference

point.

13.
Clamp the exposed end of the

bearing in a vise and drive on the cen-

ter yoke with a soft-faced hammer to

free it from the bearing.

14.
Reposition the tool and press

on the spider to remove the opposite

bearing.

place the complete shaft to be assured

of a balanced assembly.

ASSEMBLY (DOUBLE

CARDON JOINT —

LINCOLN CONTINENTAL —

1.
To assemble the double cardan

joints,
position the spider in the drive

shaft yoke. Make sure the spider boss-

es (or lubrication plugs on kits) will be

in the same position as originally in-

stalled. Press in the bearing cups. In-

stall the snap rings.

2.
Position the center yoke over the

spider ends and press in the bearing

cups.
Install the snap rings.

3.
Install a new seal on the cen-

tering ball stud. Position the centering

socket yoke on the stud.

4.
Place the front spider in the cen-

ter yoke. Make sure the spider bosses

(or lubrication plugs on kits) are prop-

erly positioned. Press in the bearing

cups and install the snap rings.

5.
Apply pressure on the centering

socket yoke and install the remaining

bearing cup.

6. On kits, remove the plug from

each spider and lubricate the universal

joints.
Reinstall the plug in each spi-

der.

DISASSEMBLY (DOUBLE

1.
Working at the rear axle end of

the shaft, mark the position of the spi-

ders,
the center yoke, and the cen-

tering socket yoke as related to the

companion flange. The spiders must

be assembled with the bosses in their

original position to provide proper

clearance.

2.
