  2. Index-mark both the driveshaft flanges at the power transfer unit (PTU) and rear differential unit (RDU).
  3. Disconnect the rear driveshaft from the PTU and from the RDU assembly.
    1. Leave the driveshaft attached to the vehicle.
  4. Rotate the driveshaft by hand, and check for any roughness feel to both the front and rear driveshaft bearings.
