If using a new propeller shaft w / Phasemarks:
Install the propeller shaft phasemarks and differential phase-
marks so that their respective alignment phasemarks match.
If the propeller shaft phasemarks and differential phase-
marks do not align, install the propeller shaft and differential
alignment phasemarks are as close together as possible.
w / o Phasemarks:
Install the propeller shaft.
(See page PR±12)
(h) Torque the center support bearing set bolts.
Torque: 49 N Vm (500 kgf Vcm, 36 ft Vlbf)
HINT: Adjust the center support bearing to keep the dimen-
sion within the limits, as shown.
Under the same condition, check if the center line of the cen-
ter support bearing is at right angles to the shaft axial direc-
tion.
(i) Using SST, tighten the adjusting nut. SST 09922±10010
Torque: 48 N Vm (490 kgf Vcm, 35 ft Vlbf)
HINT: Use a torque wrench with a fulcrum length of 350 mm
(13.8 in.).
2. INSPECT JOINT ANGLE (See page PR±15)
NOTICE: The joint angle should by all means be checked
when the propeller shaft is removed and installed.
3. INSTALL CROSSMEMBER BRACE Install the center floor crossmember brace and torque the 4
bolts.
Torque: 13 N Vm (130 kgf Vcm, 8 ft Vlbf)

(c) Install and torque the 6 bolts and new nuts.
Torque: 43 N Vm (440 kgf Vcm, 32 ft Vlbf)
(d) Connect both oxygen sensors.
HINT: When connecting the oxygen sensor, turn it to the left
about 3 times.
NOTICE: After installing the oxygen sensor, check that
the wire is not twisted.
(e) Tighten the oxygen sensors.

JOINT ANGLE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
PR02U±08
NOTICE: When performing operations which involve the
removal and installation of the propeller shaft, always
check the joint. Make adjustments if necessary.
1. STABILIZE PROPELLER SHAFT AND DIFFERENTIAL
(a) Turn the propeller shaft several times by hand to stabilize the center support bearing and flexible couplings.
(b) Using a jack, raise and lower the differential to stabilize the differential mounting cushion.
2. CHECK JOINT ANGLE OF NO.2 JOINT AND NO.3 JOINT
(a) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the intermediate
shaft and propeller shaft.
SST 09370±50010
HINT: The SST should be directly underneath the tube.
(b) Using SST, measure the installation angle of the differential. SST 09370±50010
HINT: Measure the installation angle by placing the SST in
the position, as shown in the illustration.
(c) Calculate the No.2 joint angle.

ADJUSTMENT CHART
PR02V±04
HOW TO READ THIS CHART
Take measurements, then calculate the No.2 and No. 3 joint
angle.
Mark the calculated values on the chart and read the coordi-
nates.
Replace the adjusting washer, shim and mount upper stop-
per in accordance with the coordinates read and adjust the
joint angles.
Example
Measurements (Installation angle):Intermediate shaft 1 10 '
Propeller shaft 2 45 '
Differential 1 01 '
Joint angle: No.2 1 10 '± 2 46 ' = 1 35 '
No.3 2 45 ' ± 1 44 ' = 1 01 '
Adjustment:
Center support bearing Standard parts 6.5 mm (0.256 in.) + 2.5 mm (0.118 in.) =
8.5 mm (0.138 in.)
Use adjusting washers which are 8.5 mm (0.335 in.)
thicker.
Differential
Use adjusting shims which are 1.0 mm (0.039 in.)
thicker.
HINT:
wMaintain the same thickness for the adjusting washers
and adjusting shims on both the left and right sides.
w If a washer, stopper and shim of the exact thickness are
not available, use the parts which are nearest in
thickness.
NOTICE: Check the joint angle once again after making
the adjustment.

DESCRIPTION
(SC300)
PR038±02
The propeller shaft is a 2±part type, each part consisting of a strong tube having a high centering and di-
mensional precision and a small diameter. The propeller shaft is connected to the transmission and the
differential via 3 joints. No.1 and No.2 joints are hooke universal joint.
NO.3 joint are made of flexible rubber couplings.
