    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.

    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 joint angles.
      1. Check the No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 joint angles.

        *a No. 1 Joint Angle (A - B) *b No. 2 Joint Angle (B - C)
        *c No. 3 Joint Angle (C - D) *d 90°
        *e Straightedge *f Straightedge Contact Position
      2. Using SST, measure the transfer assembly installation angle (A) and propeller shaft assembly installation angle (B), (C) and (D).
        • SST: 09370-50010 

        Joint Angle

        Measurement Position Joint Angle
        No. 1 Joint Angle (A - B) 1.89° +/- 0.50°
        No. 2 Joint Angle (B - C) 0.50° +/- 0.50°
        No. 3 Joint Angle (C - D) 0.00° +/- 0.50°
      3. Check the No. 4 joint angle.
        GTY958640Courtesy of © TOYOTA, LICENSE AGREEMENT TMS1002
        *a No. 4 Joint Angle (D - E)
      4. Using SST, measure the rear propeller shaft assembly installation angle (D) and rear differential carrier assembly installation angle (E).
        • SST: 09370-50010 

        Joint Angle

        Measurement Position Joint Angle
        No. 4 Joint Angle (D - E) 1.40° +/- 0.50°

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

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

        Center No. 2 Support Bearing Washer Thickness

        Part No. Thickness mm (in.)
