B) they are usually factory lubricated and are not serviceable

D) both A and C

Hanger Bearing

The center support bearing used to suspend the first section of the drive shaft in a double drive shaft assembly; used on truck drivelines when the distance between the transmission and drive carrier exceeds 70 inches (178 mm) or so. Consists of a sealed rolling element bearing that is supported by a rubber insulator and mounted in a bracket assembly. Also known as center support bearing.

Factory Lubricated

Refers to components that are pre-lubricated during manufacturing, reducing the need for initial maintenance.

U-joints

Universal joints, flexible pivot points that allow the transmission of power at varied angles between shafts in a drivetrain.

  • Acknowledge the importance and function of lubrication in the care of driveline mechanisms.
  • Adopt advanced practices for the preservation and lubrication of universal joints and driveshafts.
