ABSTRACT:
An illustrative embodiment includes a propshaft system including a first constant velocity joint generally defining a first axis and having an inner first race, an outer first race, and a first grease cover mated to the outer first race. The propshaft system also includes a first flange having a first flange mating surface and a first flange contour surface. The propshaft system also includes a second constant velocity joint generally defining a second axis and having an inner second race, an outer second race, and a second grease cover mated to the outer second race. The second grease cover is defined, at least in part, by a second grease cover flange surface and a second grease cover contour surface. The propshaft system additionally includes a propshaft portion extending at least partially between the first connection apparatus and the second connection apparatus. The second grease cover contour surface will interfere with the first flange contour surface to provide a visual notification of incorrect orientation of the propshaft portion within the propshaft system.
