    6. Check that the center line of the bracket is at a right angle to the shaft axial direction.
  3. INSPECT AND ADJUST TRANSFER OIL 

    Refer to ON-VEHICLE INSPECTION [12/2013 - ]

  4. 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 No. 2 center support bearing washer with a proper one.

    1. Stabilize the propeller shaft and differential.
      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.
    2. Check the No. 1 and No. 4 joint angles.

      *a No. 1 Joint Angle *b No. 4 Joint Angle
      1. Using SST, measure the transfer assembly installation angle (A) and propeller shaft assembly installation angle (B).
        • SST: 09370-50010 

        No. 1 Joint Angle

        Measurement Position No. 1 Joint Angle
        A-B -3.02° to -1.02°
      2. Using SST, measure the rear propeller shaft assembly installation angle (C) and rear differential carrier assembly installation angle (D).
        • SST: 09370-50010 

        No. 4 Joint Angle

        Measurement Position No. 4 Joint Angle
        C-D 0.71° to 2.71°

        If the measured angle is not within the specified range, adjust it with No. 2 center support bearing washer.

    3. Adjust the No. 1 joint angle and No. 4 joint angle.
      1. Select No. 2 center support bearing washers for adjustment.

        No. 2 Center Support Bearing Washer Thickness

        Part No. Thickness mm (in.)
        90201-10095 3.2 mm (0.126 in.)
        90201-10081 4.5 mm (0.177 in.)
        90201-10083 6.5 mm (0.256 in.)
