Propeller Shaft Assembly: Inspection

1. Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for front side.

   Maximum runout: 0.4 mm (0.02 in.) 

   If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.

   NOTE: Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.

2. Using a dial indicator, measure the propeller shaft runout for rear side.

   Maximum runout: 0.4 mm (0.02 in.) 

   If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the propeller shaft.

   NOTE: Place the dial indicator on the center of the shaft, and perpendicular to the shaft.

1. Before the angle measurement, use procedures like the examples below to stabilize each part.
   1. Rotate the propeller shaft several times by hand.
   2. Set the jack to the differential, and raise and lower it.
      NOTE: Perform the measurement with a 4 post lift or pit so that the vehicle condition is as close to a standard ground condition as possible.
2. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for front side (A in illustration).

   SST 09370-50010 Standard angle A: 

   -2°49' 

   -3°01' for w/3rd seat 

3. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for front side (A in Fig 3) and propeller shaft for rear side (B in illustration).

   SST 09370-50010 

   Standard angle A-B: 1°35' 

4. Using SST, measure the installation angle of the propeller shaft for rear side (B in Fig 3) and differential carrier rear side (C in illustration).

   SST 09370-50010 

   Standard angle B-C: 2°04'

5. If the result is not as specified, replace the center support bearing adjusting washer with a more appropriate one.
   NOTE:

   • Use washers of the same thickness on the left and right sides.
   • Do not use 2 or more washers stacked together.
