PR-z PROPELLER SHAFT - Precautions, Troubleshooting, Propeller Shaft
PRECAUTIONS
1. As the universal ioint is a non-disassembly type' the
propeller shaft or intermediate shaft must be replaced
as an assembly in the event of universalioint trouble.
2. Be careful not to grip the propeller shaft tube too tight-
ly in the vise as this will cause deformation.

1. INSTALL CENTER SUPPORT BEARING ON
INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
lnstall the center support bearing with the cutout on the
rear side.
2. INSTALL FTANGE YOKE ON INTERMEDIATE SHAFT
ta) Apply MP grease to the splines of the intermediate
shaft.
(b) Align the matchmarks on the yoke and shaft and
install them.
(c) Using SST to hold the flange, tighten down a
nut to press the bearing into position.

Torque: 43O kg-cm (31 ft-tb,42 N.m)
6. CONNECT CENTER SUPPORT BEARING TO BODY
ta) Place the height washer between the body and
center support bearing, and install the two mount
bolts finger tight.
NOTE: Some vehicles do not have a height washer..
In this case, it is not necessary to insert one.
(b) Check that the bearing bracket is at right angles to
the propeller shaft Adjust the bracket if necessary.
(c) Check that the center line of the center bearing is set
to the center line of the bracket when the vehicle is in
a no-load condition.
Adjust the bracket if necessary.
(d) Torque the mount bolts.

lf height of the vehicle is not within specification, try to
level it by shaking it down. lf the height is still not correct,
check for bad springs and worn or loose suspension parts.
5. ADJUST CAMBER camber:
