Abstract
A method for manufacturing a combined driveshaft tube and yoke assembly includes the initial step of providing a workpiece having a first portion defining a first wall thickness and a second portion defining a second wall thickness that is different from the first wall thickness. The first and second portions can be first and second sections that are separate from one another and joined together. Alternatively, the first and second portions can be formed integrally with one another. A pair of yoke arms having respective openings therethrough are formed in the first portion of the workpiece to provide a combined driveshaft tube and yoke assembly. A bearing bushing may be disposed in each of the openings. Alternatively, the yoke arms can have respective flanged openings formed therethrough.
