on a 2001 Durango propeller shaft, is there supposed to be a rubber boot to cover the bearings? On the end that connects to the transfer case, I can look in there and see all the bearings, I looked on advanced auto and they sell a drive shaft propeller assembly kit and it has a boot and rubber where the drive shaft fits in. So should there be rubber around the part? I can also move the end that goes on the transfer case maybe 1/4 inch or so and when you put it in 4wd it has a grinding noise

 

What do you mean propeller shaft?

The drive shaft that connects the transfer case to the front CV axles??

I have my durango sitting infront of me right now so I can look before it gets too dark..

yes it comes from the transfer case to the front diff. The side that is connected to the transfer case, I can look at it and see the bearings inside sitting around what looks like a boat propeller, Im wanting to know if there is supposed to be a rubber boot or something there, also should I be able to move it up and down, side to side?

 

I don't think it should move. I'll snap a picture this morning for ya show you what I got.

 

ok, if you already loaded the photos they didn't come up

 

Sorry I washed the car, parked the truck then had to leave with the roommate to the pumpkin patch. I'll have to get it tomorrow. Sorry.

 

lol. no problem, just when you get time

 

well I know there should be a boot on it by looking at replacement parts, but should the driveshaft on the transfer case move ?
