replacement, balance the repaired driveshaft be-
fore installing it. See Group 41 of the
Acterra
®
Workshop Manual

weights, and for debris build-up. Remove any
build-up. If any balance weights are missing, re-
move the driveshaft and have it balanced; see

8. For driveshafts with slip-joints, check that the
yoke plug is not loose or missing. See Fig. 4,
Ref. 2. Replace the yoke plug if needed. If the
yoke plug is missing, the splined shaft may be
hitting the yoke plug and knocking it out; check
the driveshaft for proper length.
