Front driveshaft question

[Master7122]

I’m swapping over from a Peugeot to the external Ax15. Can i reuse the front driveshaft from the Peugeot? Also random question but is there a way to see if the transfer case works before i install it?

You'll get away reusing the driveshaft, the trannies are basically the same length.

 

As to the tcase, you can shift it on the bench and spin the input/outputs to make sure it engages/disengages the front output and will go into low range, and that nothing hangs up while spinning it.  Beyond that you can only really check to see if the outputs are obviously loose or the seals worn out.  If you suspect it you might be best off to just order a chain and seals, then pop it apart and see if any of the bearings look or feel bad.
