the slip yoke goes into the rear transmission seal
A slip yoke is when the end of the drive shaft in a RWD vehicle plunges in and out of [most likeley] transmission when rear suspension is flexed.
could be the slip yoke needs greased. call your local GM service dept. and ask which grease to use as i can't remember right now.
A slip yoke has a splined shaft the drive shaft slides over. This allows the drive shaft to flex on rough terrain. A flange yoke has a flat plate on the transfer case and the end of the drive shaft and they bolt together.
The rear section of the driveshaft has a slip yoke in it. This allows the rear section of the driveshaft to change length as the rear axle moves up and down. If this slip yoke binds, the change in length is absorbed by the slip yoke at the back of the transmission. Because the carrier bearing itself is fixed to the driveshaft, and the hanger that holds the bearing is fixed to the frame or cross member, when the rear slip yoke binds, it moves the entire driveshaft forward taking the carrier bearing with it, and pushing it out of the rubber in the hanger.
The slip yoke on the Ford Bronco is located on the rear axle rather than on the transfer case. This is the portion of the axle that allows it to flex.
the purpose of the slip yoke is to allow for movement over bumps and different terrain. if there was no give ,you would constantly be trashing the driveshaft or transmission
NO. It has a slip yoke.
The tailshaft housing and bushing
My trans had that problem and it was the yoke on the drive line going into the rear trans needed lubrication takes about 15 minutes to do disconect drive line u joints at rear end and slide drive line out and lubricate the splines that go into transmission with grease a heavy bearing grease worked fine for me.
motorcraft . com shows it as being a version of the ( 5R 110W ) automatic transmission It lists 4 different versions with the 6.0 L diesel With slip yoke , without slip yoke , and I assume 2 wheel drive or 4x4
Only if it was installed aftermarket, they do not come with them from the factory.
