2842-252 – Stub & Midship Shaft – 30 X 0.950 Splines – Butt Dia 2.344″ – Tube Dia Wall 2.500X0.083

When diagnosing driveline issues, the 2842-252 Stub & Midship Shaft is critical for ensuring proper torque transmission from the transmission to the differential. If you experience vibrations that seem to correlate with vehicle speed, this shaft could be the source of the problem. A worn or damaged shaft can lead to significant driveline vibrations, especially if the splines or tube wall are compromised.

The 2842-252 features 30 X 0.950 splines, a butt diameter of 2.344″, and a tube diameter wall of 2.500X0.083. Each of these specifications is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the driveline system. For instance, if the splines are worn, you may notice a slipping sensation during acceleration, which can lead to further damage if not addressed promptly.

Additionally, the shaft’s length of 923″ and end-to-weld measurement of 4.544″ must match your application precisely. Mismatched lengths can lead to improper phasing and increased wear on U-joints or CV joints. This part is specifically designed to work with the 2852-9501 CVJ Kit, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance.

• Verify spline count and diameter for proper fit.
• Check the tube diameter and wall thickness for wear.
• Ensure the length matches your application to avoid vibration issues.
• Inspect for any signs of rust or corrosion that could affect performance.
• Torque bolts to specification during installation for safety.

Replacing a worn 2842-252 Stub & Midship Shaft can restore smooth operation and eliminate vibrations, ensuring your vehicle runs as intended.
