      Torque: 37 N*m (375 kgf*cm, 27 ft.*lbf) 

      (B): 12.5 +/-1.0 mm (0.492 +/- 0.039 in.) 

    5. Check that the center line of the bracket is at the right angle in the shaft axial direction.
    6. If any vibration or noise occurs, perform joint angle check as follows and replace the adjusting shim with a proper one.
      1. Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearings.
      2. Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
      3. Remove the transfer dynamic damper.
      4. Using SST, measure the transfer installation angle (A) and front propeller shaft installation angle (B).

        SST 09370-50010 

        No. 1 joint angle: (A) - (B) = -1.3° to -3.3° 

      5. Using SST, measure the rear propeller shaft installation angle (C) and rear differential shaft installation angle (D).

        SST 09370-50010 

        No. 2 joint angle: (C) - (D) = 1.8° to 3.5°
