RJ-0801-0

Submitted by administrator on Wed, 03/04/2015 - 00:54

For the front wheel propeller shafts of 4WD vehicles, the rear universal joint does not have sufficient durability, and grease may leak from the joint causing abnormal noise. If this problem is left unattended, the joint can break causing the propeller shaft to come off, which could damage the transmission leading to oil leakage and in the worst case could result in a fire.
