If a vibration is present at high speed, inspect the propeller shaft runout first.
1. Measure the runout of the propeller shaft tube at several points

by rotating the final drive companion flange with your hands.

Refr to

DLN-340, "General Specification"

2. If the runout exceeds specifications, disconnect the propeller

shaft at the final drive companion flange; then rotate the com-

panion flange 90

, 180

and 270

and reconnect the propeller

shaft.

3. Check the runout again. If the runout still exceeds specifications,

replace the propeller shaft assembly.

4. After installation, check for vibration by driving vehicle.

REMOVAL

1. Move the A/T select lever to the N position and release the parking brake.
2. Put matching marks on the rear propeller shaft flange yoke and

the rear final drive companion flange as shown.

CAUTION:

For matching marks, use paint. Never damage the rear pro-

peller shaft flange yoke or the companion flange.

3. Remove the bolts, then remove the propeller shaft from the rear

final drive and A/T or transfer.

DLN

• Inspect the propeller shaft runout. If runout exceeds the limit,

replace the propeller shaft assembly. Refer to

DLN-340, "General

Specification"

• While holding the flange yoke on one side, check axial play of the

joint as shown. If the journal axial play exceeds the specification,

repair or replace the journal parts. Refer to

DLN-340, "General

Specification"

• Check the propeller shaft tube for dents or cracks. If damage is

detected, replace the propeller shaft assembly.

INSTALLATION

Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle. Refer to

DLN-334, "NVH Troubleshooting Chart"

• If propeller shaft assembly of final drive assembly has been

replaced, connect them as follows:

- Face companion flange mark (A) of the final drive (1) upward. With

the mark (A) faced upward, couple the propeller shaft and the final

drive so that the matching mark (B) of the propeller shaft (2) can be

positioned as close as possible with the matching mark (C) of the

final drive companion flange.

- Tighten propeller shaft and final drive bolts and nuts of the to spec-

ification. Refer to

DLN-336, "Removal and Installation"

CAUTION:

Do not reuse the bolts and nuts. Always install new ones.

Journal

1. Put matching marks on the rear propeller shaft and flange yoke

as shown.

CAUTION:

For matching marks use paint. Never damage the rear pro-

peller shaft or flange yoke.

2. Remove the snap rings.

3. Push out and remove the journal bearings by lightly tapping the

flange yoke with a hammer, taking care not to damage the jour-

nal or flange yoke hole.

NOTE:

Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-

stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.

4. Push out and remove the remaining journal bearings at the

opposite side by lightly tapping the flange yoke with a hammer,

taking care not to damage the journal or flange yoke hole.

NOTE:

Put marks on the disassembled parts so that they can be rein-

stalled in their original positions from which they were removed.

Journal

1. Assemble the journal bearings. Apply multipurpose grease on

the bearing inner surface.

NOTE:

During assembly, use caution so that the needle bearings do not

fall down.

2. Select new snap rings that will provide the specified play in an

axial direction of the journal, and install them. Refer to

DLN-340,

"Snap Ring"

CAUTION:

Do not reuse snap rings

NOTE:

Select snap rings with a difference in thickness at both sides

within 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

3. Adjust the thrust clearance between the bearing and snap ring

to zero by tapping the yoke.

4. Make sure that the journal moves smoothly and is below the

joint flex effort specification. Refer to

DLN-340, "General Specifi-

cation"
