Mopar R2073602 Drive Shaft, Right

You can Select Your Vehicle to check if R2073602 fits your vehicle.

Before removing the right axle, remove the speedometer gear. To separate the lower balljoint stud from the steering knuckle, follow these steps: Remove the steering knuckle-to-balljoint clamp bolt. Pry the lower balljoint stud out of the steering knuckle.

The driveaxles, CV joints, and boots should be inspected periodically and whenever the vehicle is raised.

To install the driveaxle, follow these steps: Clean the wear sleeve on the outer CV joint and the seal in the hub. Lubricate the seal lip and fill the seal cavity with grease. Apply grease to the wear sleeve seal contact area. Apply multi-purpose grease to the splines at each end of the driveaxle. Carefully insert the inner end of the shaft into the transaxle. Push the steering knuckle out and insert the outer splined shaft of the CV joint into the hub. Rejoin the balljoint stud to the steering knuckle, install the clamp bolt, and tighten it to the specified torque. Install the sway bar ends (if removed) and the speedometer gear. Install the wheels, washers, and axle nuts, tightening the driveaxle nuts to the specified torque and installing the wave washers, nut locks, and new cotter pins. To check the driveaxle position, ensure the vehicle is completely assembled, the front wheels are properly aligned and pointing straight ahead, and the weight of the vehicle is on all four wheels. Use a tape measure to check the distance from the inner edge of the outboard boot to the inner edge of the inboard boot on both driveaxles at the lower edge. If the dimensions are not as specified, the engine mount bolts can be loosened and the engine repositioned to obtain the correct driveaxle lengths.

Excessive movement during the inspection indicates worn splines or loose CV joints.
