3140-1701-4 – Stub & Midship Shaft – 16 X 1.375 Splines – Butt Dia 875″ – Tube Dia Wall 1.250X0.188

The 3140-1701-4 Stub & Midship Shaft is a critical component for effective torque transmission from the transmission to the differential. With its 16 X 1.375 splines, this shaft is designed to handle significant torque loads while maintaining stability. The butt diameter of 0.875 inches and a tube wall thickness of 1.250 X 0.188 inches ensure durability and resistance to bending under load. What sets the 3140-1701-4 apart from similar shafts is its precise spline count and dimensions. Using a shaft with incorrect spline dimensions can lead to improper fitment, resulting in catastrophic failure during operation. The 6.500-inch spline length and 7.750-inch end-to-weld measurement are specifically engineered for applications requiring exact specifications. If you attempt to use a shaft that is even slightly different in these measurements, you risk misalignment and increased wear on the U-joints.

• Verify the 16 X 1.375 spline count matches your application.
• Ensure the butt diameter of 0.875 inches fits your yoke correctly.
• Check the tube wall thickness of 1.250 X 0.188 inches for compatibility.
• Confirm the end-to-weld measurement of 7.750 inches aligns with your setup.
• Inspect for proper phasing and balance during installation to prevent vibration.

In summary, the 3140-1701-4 Stub & Midship Shaft is engineered for reliability and performance in demanding applications. Make sure to adhere to the specifications to ensure optimal function and longevity of your driveline system.
