Hookes joint
Grease nipple
Universal joint
4 Gaiter/Sliding spline joint
5 Lubrication point
The front propeller shaft consists of a tube with a universal joint and a sliding spline joint at the front end, and a
Hookes joint at the rear end. The universal joint is bolted to the pinion flange of the front axle differential. The Hookes
joint is bolted to the front output shaft of the transfer box.
The Hookes joint is lubricated during manufacture and sealed for life. A grease nipple is installed in the universal joint
to lubricate the serviceable, sealed needle bearings of the joint. The sliding spline joint is sealed with a gaiter and
lubricated through a lubrication point on the tube. Because of the proximity of a chassis crossmember to the front
propeller shaft, the lubrication point is normally sealed with a grub screw. During maintenance, the grub screw is
temporarily replaced by a slave grease nipple to lubricate the sliding spline joint.
