The Driveshaft is a critical component for transferring torque from the transmission to the differential in your Dodge Charger. This particular unit is designed for the 2015-2021 models and features a robust 1350 Series construction, ensuring it can handle the demands of both the 3.6L and 5.7L engines. With an overall length of 62.0 inches and a tube diameter of 3.5 inches OD, it’s essential to ensure that these measurements match your application precisely to avoid installation issues.
Before you begin the installation, double-check the spline count and ensure it matches your transmission output. A common oversight is mismatching the spline size, which can lead to significant problems during operation. This Driveshaft is made from aluminum, providing a lightweight yet durable solution that helps reduce rotational mass and improve performance.
- Verify the 3.5″ OD tube diameter for proper fitment.
- Ensure the overall length of 62.0″ is correct for your application.
- Check that the Driveshaft is compatible with the automatic transmission.
- Inspect all mating surfaces for wear or damage before installation.
- Use the included M10-1.5 flange bolts and torque them to specification.
After installation, it’s crucial to check for proper phasing and balance. Any vibration can indicate a misalignment or imbalance, which should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage. This Driveshaft is engineered to deliver reliable performance, but proper installation and maintenance are key to its longevity.
