Anybody know how to get the steering column offa an old Dodge Ram? We got the wheel off and the lock plate but the stuff under that seems very diff. Is another special tool needed?

The link didn't seem to work for me. But, I'm wondering why it would be the driveshaft itself instead of the universals? The drive shaft has a slip yoke that is supposed to slide smoothly fore and aft. If it binds, you can get a latent clunk when it eventually frees up, usually after a hard stop. I had the issue with my F250 and it was solved with lubrication. I also had the issue with my Lexus GX 470, and it was solved by replacing the driveshaft with a newer designed unit. Like John said, it's a very common problem on the 4Runners and GX 470 (same drivetrain). Lexus has a TSB on it and when I took mine in for its 5000 mile service, the dealer performed the TSB at my request, with no charge and no hassle. By 5000 miles, mine was just starting to show signs of the clunk. No problem since the driveshaft was replaced. |

And it's not unique to Toyota. Like I said, I had the same issue on a Ford F250. It's actually a very common device in driveshaft designs. You can find them on all sorts of vehicles, from Jeeps to Mustangs and Corvettes. The slip yoke allows the rear suspension to flex freely without being bound by the drivetrain. |

Commonly in small rear wheel drive vehicles, it's a one piece driveshaft. Starting at the rear end, you have a universal, the driveshaft, another universal, the yoke, which indeed does couple to the transmission output shaft via splines. This is where the shaft is allowed to move because of flex in the rear suspension. |

This is where the shaft is allowed to move because of flex in the rear suspension. Yep, that's the more common version of a slip yoke. Like this: http://www.motorera.com/dictionary/pics/S/slip_yoke.jpg However, sometimes there is a slip yoke built into the rear of the propeller shaft. Here's a Ford version: http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/i...SlipYoke03.jpg And another on a Jeep Cherokee: http://polytropia.com/images/cherokee/AxleMount.JPG The latter two are similar to what John and I have. |

This is where the shaft is allowed to move because of flex in the rear suspension. Yep, that's the more common version of a slip yoke. Like this: http://www.motorera.com/dictionary/pics/S/slip_yoke.jpg However, sometimes there is a slip yoke built into the rear of the propeller shaft. Here's a Ford version: http://www.ford-trucks.com/article/i...SlipYoke03.jpg And another on a Jeep Cherokee: http://polytropia.com/images/cherokee/AxleMount.JPG The latter two are similar to what John and I have. Gotcha! I wasn't following you for some reason. So the yoke at the rear differential slides, too? I know it didn't on my Jeep Cherokee (1995). I'm going to look at my new Dodge truck this evening! |
Holy Cow!

Of all the vehicles I've owned that were rear wheel, or four wheel drive, none of them had slip splines at the rear differential. |
