How to Install a Drive Shaft on 2009 Dodge Charger?

Setting up the propeller shaft should always be performed by two people, to prevent problems from over-angulation that might lead to vibrations and breakdowns. For V6 models, if you remove the coupler or damper, install the new set so that the sleeve on top (2) is properly inserted into the counterbores in the propshaft or damper. Attach three bolts to the holes, adding washers and nuts. Torque everything to 58 Nm (43 ft. lbs.). Assisted by a partner, put the propeller shaft onto the axle in the proper way, using the matching marks from when you pulled the couplings and put the bolt/nuts into the rear coupler-to-axle flange just by hand, not with a torque wrench. Then, put the propeller shaft against the flange on the transmission, line up the marks and screw in the front coupling bolts or nuts by hand, not using the required wrench torque. Slide on the center bearing-to-body bolts and tighten them later without torquing for now. Tighten the front coupler-to-transmission flange bolts or nuts to 58 Nm (43 ft. lbs.), the same for the rear coupler-to-axle flange bolts or nuts. Jack up the rear suspension and press it down so it runs level with the car's body. This prevents any excess moving parts and frames in your center bearing that can create noise and cause early wear. Afterward, tighten the center bearing bolts to 27 Nm (20 ft. lbs.), place the heat shield (1), put on the rear exhaust system (2) and bolter on the crossmember (1).
