CHASSIS INFORMATION
Drive Shaft:
The drive shaft transfers the power produced by the engine to the drive axle. A worn
or out of balance driveline causes chassis vibration that generally increases in intensity
with road speed.
NOTE: It will be necessary to move the motorhome forward or
backward to access all fittings on the drive shaft.
Greasing the Drive Shaft Universal Joints:
1.
Check the drive shaft for looseness. If loose or worn, repair the drive shaft as
necessary.
2. Apply the specified grease at the grease fitting on the universal joint. Apply new
grease until new grease purges from all the seals.
3. If new grease does not purge at the seals, loosen the bearing cap bolts and
re-grease until all four caps purge. If new grease still does not purge,
disassemble and clean or replace the universal joint.
Greasing the Drive Shaft Slip Yoke and Splines:
1.
Check the drive shaft for looseness. If loose or worn, repair the drive shaft
as necessary.
2. With finger, cover the rear air hole so grease flows to the front seal. Apply
the specified grease at the grease fitting on the slip yoke. Apply grease until
new grease purges and forces finger away from the air hole in the end of
the slip yoke. Greasing interval is 10,000 miles or annually.
Warning: Rotating shafts can be dangerous.
Rotating shafts can snag clothes, skin, hair,
hands, etc. causing serious injury or death. Do
not work on or near a shaft “with or without a
guard” when the engine is running.
