Propeller Shaft Vibration
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If a vibration is present at high speed, inspect the propeller shaft runout first.
- Measure the runout of the propeller shaft tube at several points by rotating the final drive companion flange with your hands.
Propeller shaft runout limit : 0.6 mm (0.024 in) or less
- If the runout exceeds specifications, disconnect the propeller shaft at the final drive companion flange; then rotate the companion flange 90°, 180° and 270° and reconnect the propeller shaft.
- Check the runout again. If the runout still exceeds specifications, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
- After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle.
