CAUTION:

• Never damage the rear oil seal of transmission. 
• If constant velocity joint was bent during propeller shaft

assembly removal, installation, or transportation, its boot
may be damaged. Wrap boot interference area to metal
part with shop cloth or rubber to protect boot from break-
age.

REAR PROPELLER SHAFT

• Align matching marks to install propeller shaft flange yoke with final

drive companion flange.

• After assembly, perform a driving test to check propeller shaft

vibration. If vibration occurred, separate propeller shaft from final
drive. Reinstall companion flange after rotating it by 90, 180, 270
degrees. Then perform driving test and check propeller shaft vibra-
tion again at each point.

• If propeller shaft or final drive has been replaced, connect them as

follows:

- Install the propeller shaft while aligning its matching mark (A) with

the matching mark (B) on the joint as close as possible.

CAUTION:

Never damage the rear oil seal of transmission. 

Inspection

INFOID:0000000000957318

APPEARANCE

Check propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damage is detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.

PROPELLER SHAFT RUNOUT

Check propeller shaft runout at measuring points. If runout exceeds
specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly. For measuring
point, refer to 

DLN-85, "Inspection"

.

JOURNAL AXIAL PLAY

As shown in the figure, while fixing yoke on one side, check axial
play of joint. If outside the standard, replace propeller shaft assem-
bly. 

CAUTION:

Never disassemble joints.

CENTER BEARING

Check center bearing for noise and damage. If noise or damage is detected, replace propeller shaft assembly.

CAUTION:

Never disassemble center bearing.
