7. Tighten the 2 bolts.
  Torque: 49 N*m (500 kgf*cm, 36 ft.*lbf)

INSPECT AND ADJUST NO. 2 AND NO. 3 JOINT ANGLE

Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
1. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing.
Check the No.2 and No.3 joint angles.
1. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate shaft and propeller shaft.
  SST 09370-50010
  
  HINT:
  
  The SST should be set directly underneath the shaft.

2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential.
  SST 09370-50010
  
  HINT:
  
  Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in the position shown in the illustration.
3. Calculate the No.2 joint angle.
  No.2 joint angle:
  
  A - B = -1°36' to -0°36'
  
  A: Intermediate shaft installation angle
  
  B: Propeller shaft installation angle
4. Calculate the No.3 joint angle.
  No.3 joint angle:
  
  B - C = 1°09' to 2°09'
  
  B: Propeller shaft installation angle
  
  C: Differential installation angle
