Notes:

Always measure radial run-out if torque tube
has been removed. Make new color marking
and remove old color marking.
If a new driveshaft is installed and the color
marking on the drive flange of the rear final
drive is no longer visible, location of largest
radial run-out must be determined and marked
with a color marking.
Align this colored dot with colored dot on
driveshaft page 39
-83
.

Radial run-out can also be measured with the
rear final drive installed, for this the driveshaft
must be disconnected from the rear final drive.
Observe notes page 39
-73
.

- Remove left front bolt at transmission mount for
rear final drive.
