As some of you have probably run into the Prop Shaft aka driveshaft aka “Cardan Shaft” needs to be removed for downpipe installations or a number of other maintenance/modification jobs.
Just the front be decoupled for some, but in the case of my Baun Performance 4” GESI catted DP & Midpipe the entire prop shaft needs to be removed from the car due to the massive size.
As always, I recommend using FCP euro so your hardware is covered by their lifetime warranty so I’ll include the links for the required replacement hardware below as well as the OEM torque specs.
Front coupler bolts (qty 3).
OEM PN: N 90846102
