Dodge Durango (DN). Manual — part 216
(7) Flip assembly and repeat Step 4, Step 5, and
Step 6 to remove the opposite bearing cap. This will
then allow removal of the cross centering kit assem-
bly and spring (Fig. 26).
(8) Press the remaining bearing caps out the other
end of the link yoke as described above to complete
the disassembly.
ASSEMBLY
During assembly, ensure that the alignment
marks on the link yoke and propeller shaft
yoke are aligned.
(1) Apply extreme pressure (EP) N.L.G.I. Grade 1
or 2 grease to inside of yoke bores to aid in installa-
tion.
(2) Fit a cross into the propeller shaft yoke (Fig.
27).
(3) Place a bearing cap over the trunnion and
align the cap with the yoke bore (Fig. 28). Keep the
needle bearings upright in the bearing assembly. A
needle bearing lying at the bottom of the cap will
prevent proper assembly.
(4) Press the bearing cap into the yoke bore
enough to install a snap ring (Fig. 29).
(5) Install a snap ring.

(6) Flip the propeller shaft yoke and install the
bearing cap onto the opposite trunnion. Install a
snap ring (Fig. 30).
(7) Fit the link yoke on the remaining two trun-
nions and press both bearing caps into place (Fig.
31).
(8) Install snap rings.
(9) Install the centering kit assembly inside the
link yoke making sure the spring is properly posi-
tioned (Fig. 32).
(10) Place two bearing caps on opposite trunnions
of the remaining cross. Fit the open trunnions into
the link yoke bores and the bearing caps into the
centering kit (Fig. 33).

(11) Press the remaining two bearing caps into
place and install snap rings (Fig. 34).
(12) Tap the snap rings to allow them to seat into
the grooves (Fig. 35).
(13) Check for proper assembly. Flex the joint
beyond center, it should snap over-center in both
directions when correctly assembled (Fig. 36).
(14) Install the propeller shaft.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
PROPELLER SHAFT
(1) Clean all universal joint bores with cleaning
solvent and a wire brush.
(2) Inspect the yokes for distortion, cracks, and
worn bearing cap bores.
ADJUSTMENTS
REAR AXLE PINION INPUT ANGLE
Adjust the rear axle pinion input angle on vehicles
equipped with leaf springs with tapered shims (Fig.
37). Install tapered shims between the springs and
axle pad to correct the angle. Refer to Group 2, Sus-
pension, for additional information.

CENTER BEARING ADJUSTMENT
Drive away shudder is a vibration that occurs at
first acceleration from a stop. Shudder vibration usu-
ally peaks at the engines highest torque output.
Shudder is a symptom associated with vehicles using
a two-piece propeller shaft. To decrease shudder,
lower the center bearing in 1/8 inch increments. Use
shim stock or fabricated plates. Plate stock must be
used to maintain compression of the rubber insulator
around the bearing. Do not use washers. Replace the
original bolts with the appropriate increased length
bolts.
