DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

PROPELLER SHAFT ALIGNMENT

Description

The front and rear propeller shafts have non-constant
velocity ’Hooks’ type universal joints, with needle roller
bearings. The bearing cups are pre-packed with
lubricant on assembly and a grease nipple is fitted for
servicing as specified, in maintenance section.

Both shafts have Rilsan coated sliding splines to
accommodate the variation in distance between the
axles and transmission. The splines are pre-packed
with lubricant and sealed.

The rear shaft is fitted with a conventional joint at
gearbox end and the sliding joint sealed with a rubber
gaiter. An SGF rubber coupling is fitted at the
differential end of the shaft.

The front shaft which is shorter than the rear is
’Phased’, with the joints at each end, A and B
mis-aligned as shown in RR4199.

The phasing is necessary on the front shaft only to
allow for greater variation in angular changes.

Catalyst vehicles

The front shaft is ’phased’ as above but is of solid bar
construction.
