If runout still exceeds specifications, separate propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange; then rotate companion flange 90,
180, 270 degrees and install propeller shaft.

3.

Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly. 

4.

Check the vibration by driving vehicle.
