PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION

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.

Refer to 

DLN-136, "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. Refer to 

DLN-136, "Gen-

eral Specification"
