To install, follow the reverse procedure, ensuring proper alignment of the marks made during removal. Tighten all bolts securely. For two-piece driveshafts, check the center bearing during reinstallation.

It is important to inspect and maintain the driveshaft assembly to ensure its proper function and prevent issues like noise or vibration while driving. The driveshaft should be kept clean and free from undercoating, mud, or debris. Additionally, it's essential to check that the small weights used to balance the driveshaft are securely attached. When removing and reinstalling the driveshaft, it must be reinstalled in the same relative position to preserve its balance.

If the shaft cannot be lined up due to rotated components, you should put the vehicle in Neutral or rotate one wheel to allow the original alignment to be achieved.
