greater than 0.007 inch (0.18 mm), replace both
the sleeve-yoke and the splined shaft.
7. Visually examine the driveshaft tubes for dents,
bends, twists, or other damage. If any tube appears to be damaged, see Group 41 of the
Century Class Trucks Workshop Manual for repair and replacement instructions.
9. For driveshafts with slip joints, check to be sure
the yoke plug is not loose or missing. See Fig. 5,
Ref. 2. Repair or replace the yoke plug as
needed. If the yoke plug is missing, the splined
shaft may be hitting the plug and knocking it out;
contact your Regional Service Office for assistance in determining the correct driveshaft
length.
8. Examine the driveshaft for evidence of missing
balance weights, and for build-up of foreign material. Remove any foreign material. If there is
any evidence that balance weights are missing,
remove the driveshaft and have it balanced.
