Tech Note 1: Axle Problems
QU40316 carries a good percentage of the right axle shaft weight. If either it or QU40107 Right Inner Axle Shaft Support Bushing gets worn, you are probably going to have problems with oil leaking past the right axle shaft seal AND shift problems with the front axle when the splined shift collar can not freely move due to axle shaft misalignment.

Tech Note 2: Lubricate
Lubricate the Bushing with petroleum jelly after installation.

Tech Note 3: Before Disassembly
Before you start to disassemble the right side of your axle, shift your transfer case into 4x4 with the engine running and the vehicle properly supported. Wait until the 4x4 dash light illuminates before you shut off the engine. If the vacuum controlled CAD system is working properly, this will keep the Axle Shift Collar in place when you remove the right axle shaft.

Tech Note 4: Matching Parts

Tech Note 5: Removal Method
