PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010763745

LOOSENESS OF CONNECTED PART

Check each fixing bolt and nut for looseness using torque wrench. For each tightening torque, refer to 

DLN-

186, "Exploded View"

.

BACKLASH OF JOINT PART

Move the joint of propeller shaft up and down and from side to side
(axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the joint
has no backlash. If the joint has a malfunction, remove propeller
shaft and perform inspection.

BACKLASH OF CENTER BEARING

Move the shaft near center bearing up and down and from side to
side (axial direction of shaft and right angle to shaft) to check that the
bearing has no backlash. If the bearing has a malfunction, remove
propeller shaft and perform inspection.

APPEARANCE AND NOISE

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If malfunction is detected, replace propeller shaft

assembly.

• If center bearing is noisy or damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

VIBRATION

If vibration is present at high speed, adjust the propeller shaft phase first.
1.

Check the propeller shaft for bend and damage. If damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

2.

Perform a cruise test drive to check the propeller shaft for runout. If vibration occurs, separate propeller
shaft at final drive companion flange; then change the phase between electric controlled coupling stud bolt
and propeller shaft by the one bolt hole at a time and install propeller shaft.

3.

If vibration is still detected, measure propeller shaft runout after removing it. Refer to 

DLN-189, "Inspec-

tion"

.
