        Torque: 36.8 N.m (375 kgf/cm, 27 ft.lbf) 

      4. Check that the center line of the bracket is at a right angle to the shaft axial direction.
  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST JOINT ANGLE 
    NOTE:

    Measure the joint angle when the vehicle is raised using a four-post lift or when using a pit.

    HINT: If any vibration or noise occurs, perform the joint angle check as follows and replace the center No. 2 support bearing washers with ones of the correct thickness.
