Driveshaft Center Bearing

With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. REFER to JACKING AND LIFTING for Lifting Points. Rotate the driveshaft by hand. If the bearings show signs of roughness or are noisy, install a new driveshaft assembly. REFER to DRIVESHAFT .

NOTE: NVH symptoms should be identified using the diagnostic tools that are available. For a list of these tools, an explanation of their uses and a glossary of common terms, REFER to NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS Noise, Vibration and Harshness. Since it is possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of a symptom, it may be necessary to use a process of elimination type of diagnostic approach to pinpoint the responsible system. If this is not the causal system for the symptom, REFER to NOISE, VIBRATION & HARSHNESS Noise, Vibration and Harshness for the next likely system and continue diagnosis.
