Dodge Ram 1500 CV shaft slipping off transfer case spline requires split washer replacement on Dodge Ram 1500

Some Dodge Ram 1500 owners report experiencing issues with the CV shaft slipping off the transfer case spline, which can be a common problem. This issue may arise due to a lack of spring tension in the retaining ring, leading to insufficient grip and necessitating the replacement of the split washer for a secure connection. Proper installation of the new split washer is crucial to avoid future slippage, and owners are advised to ensure it is correctly positioned and secured. Additionally, addressing this issue promptly is important to prevent further damage to the splines on both the shaft and the axle, which can result in knocking and popping noises, as well as more extensive repairs.
