Section 15 (Driveshaft): Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Jeep Compass. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Due to propeller shaft imbalance concerns, the propeller shaft can only be serviced as an assembly.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) models utilize a "two-piece" driveshaft to transmit torque from the Power Transfer Unit (PTU) to the Rear Driveline Module (RDM) assembly. This two-piece design consists of:
- Front and rear shaft segments
- Seals (1) to prevent contaminants from entering the splined connections
- Snap rings (2) to retain the splined couplings at the PTU and the RDM
- Center support bearing (3)
