CAUTION: The drive shaft strap bolts use a Loctite patch for retention on initial installation. These screws must be replaced with new pieces whenever they are removed.
CAUTION: Replace drive shaft joint straps whenever they are removed. The straps slightly deform when torqued in place. Reuse of the straps may result in reduced clamp load on the universal joint cap.
