APPEARANCE AND NOISE INSPECTION

• Check the propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If damaged, replace the propeller shaft assembly.
• Check the bearings for noise and damage. Repair or replace the bearings as necessary.

PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION

If a vibration is present at high speed, inspect the propeller shaft runout first.

1.

Measure the runout of the propeller shaft tube at several points
by rotating the final drive companion flange with your hands.
Refer to 

DLN-312, "General Specification"

.

2.

If the runout exceeds specifications, disconnect the propeller
shaft at the final drive companion flange; then rotate the com-
panion flange 90

°

, 180

°

 and 270

°

 and reconnect the propeller

shaft.

3.

Check the runout again. If the runout still exceeds specifications,
replace the propeller shaft assembly.

4.

After installation, check for vibration by driving the vehicle.

Assemble the journal bearings. Apply multipurpose grease on
the bearing inner surface.
NOTE:
During assembly, use caution so that the needle bearings do not
fall down.

Select new snap rings that will provide the specified play in an
axial direction of the journal, and install them. Refer to 

DLN-312

.

CAUTION:

Do not reuse snap rings
NOTE:
Select snap rings with a difference in thickness at both sides
within 0.02 mm (0.0008 in).

3.

Adjust the thrust clearance between the bearing and snap ring
to zero by tapping the yoke.

4.

Make sure that the journal moves smoothly and is below the
joint flex effort specification. Refer to
