Dodge Journey: Removal
Fig. 60: Support Module With Jack
- - DRIVELINE MODULE
- - TRANSMISSION JACK
NOTE: Rear suspension and drivetrain design require this procedure to be performed on a "drive-on" hoist, as the front and rear suspension needs to be compressed to ride height to facilitate rear halfshaft removal.
1. Make sure transaxle is in Neutral (N) position.
2. Raise vehicle on hoist.
3. Remove exhaust system center hanger (at propeller shaft bearing/support).
4. Disconnect exhaust system at rear-most hanger and lower at least 254 mm (10 in.). Support system with suitable wire or rope.
5. Drain differential lubricant to prevent fluid spillage upon removal.
6. Support driveline module (1) with transmission jack (2) (or equivalent).
