You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 43411-60040 fits your vehicle.

All 4WD vehicles utilize two driveshafts; the primary shaft connects the transfer case to the front differential, while the rear driveshaft links the transfer case to the rear differential. The driveshaft universal joints are of the cross type and can be replaced independently from the driveshaft. Driveshafts are finely balanced during production, and whenever they are removed or disassembled, they must be reassembled and reinstalled in the exact manner and positions they were originally in to prevent excessive vibration. Both front and rear axles feature a 'banjo' style differential that transfers the turning force of the driveshaft to the axleshafts, which are splined at their inner ends to fit into the splines of the differential gears, with outer ends designed as either semi-floating or full floating, depending on the vehicle's year and model; all front axles are of the full floating design. Full floating axles can be easily identified by the ring of bolts in the center of the hub. Due to the complexity and critical nature of differential adjustments, along with the special equipment required for these operations, it is advisable for any disassembly of the differential to be performed by a qualified repair facility.

If equipped, disconnect the load leveling sensor from the rear axle.

Refer to the beginning of this chapter for the torque specifications, then reinstall the components in the reverse order of removal. Install the differential cover and fill the rear axle.

Slide the axleshaft into the housing, engaging the axleshaft splines into the differential.

Install new snap-rings on the inner axleshaft.
