(8) If the vibration decreased, install a second
clamp (Fig. 2) and repeat the test.
(9) If the clamps cause an additional unbalance,
separate the clamps (1/4 inch above and below the
mark). Repeat the vibration test (Fig. 3).(10) Increase distance between the clamp screws
and repeat the test until the amount of vibration is
at the lowest level. Bend the slack end of the clamps
so the screws will not loosen.
(11) Install the wheel and tires. Lower the vehicle.
(12) If the amount of vibration remains unaccept-
able, apply procedures at the front end of the propel-
ler shaft.
RUNOUT
(1) Remove dirt, rust, paint, and undercoating
from the propeller shaft surface. Areas where the dial
indicator will contact the shaft must be clean.
(2) The dial indicator must be installed perpendic-
ular to the shaft surface.
(3) Measure runout at the center and ends away
from welds.
(4) Refer to Runout Specifications chart.
(5) Replace the propeller shaft if the runout ex-
ceeds the limit.
UNIVERSAL JOINT ANGLE MEASUREMENT
INFORMATION
When two shafts come together at any common
joint, the bend that is formed is called the operating
angle. The larger the angle, the larger the amount of
acceleration and deceleration of the joint. This speed-
ing up and slowing down of the joint must be can-
celled to produce a smooth power flow. This is done
through phasing and proper universal joint working
angles.
A propeller shaft is properly phased when the yoke
ends are on the same plane or in line. A twisted shaft
will throw the yokes out of phase and cause a notice-
able vibration.
When taking universal joint angle measurements
or checking phasing with two piece shafts, consider
each shaft separately. On 4WD vehicles, the front
shaft input (pinion shaft) angle has priority over the
caster angle.
Ideally the driveline system should have;
²Angles that are in equal or opposite within 1 de-
gree of each other
²Have a 3 degree maximum operating angle

²Have at least a 1/2 degree continuous operating
(propeller shaft) angle
Engine speed (R.P.M.) is the main factor though in
determining maximum allowable operating angles.
As a guide to maximum normal operating angles re-
fer to the chart listed (Fig. 4).
INSPECTION
Before measuring universal joint angles, the
following must be done.
²Inflate all tires to correct pressure
²Check angles in the same loaded or unloaded con-
dition as when the vibration occurred. Propshaft an-
gles will change according to the amount of load in
the vehicle. Always check angles in loaded and un-
loaded conditions.
²Check the condition of all suspension components
and verify all fasteners are torqued to specifications.
²Check the condition of the engine and transmis-
sion mounts and verify all fasteners are torqued to
specifications.
MEASUREMENT
To accurately check driveline alignment, raise and
support the vehicle at the axles as level as possible.
Allow the wheels and propeller shaft to turn. Remove
any external bearing snap rings (if equipped) from
universal joint so protractor base sits flat.
(1) Rotate the shaft until transmission/transfer
case output yoke bearing is facing downward.
Always make measurements from front to
rear.
(2) Place Inclinometer on yoke bearing (A) parallel
to the shaft (Fig. 5). Center bubble in sight glass and
record measurement.
This measurement will give you the transmis-
sion or OUTPUT YOKE ANGLE (A).
(3) Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place In-
clinometer on yoke bearing parallel to the shaft (Fig.
6). Center bubble in sight glass and record measure-
ment. This measurement can also be taken at the
rear end of the shaft.
This measurement will give you the PROPEL-
LER SHAFT ANGLE (C).(4) Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus A)
to obtain transmission OUTPUT OPERATING AN-
GLE.
(5) Rotate propeller shaft 90 degrees and place In-
clinometer on pinion yoke bearing parallel to the
shaft (Fig. 7). Center bubble in sight glass and record
measurement.
This measurement will give you the pinion
shaft or INPUT YOKE ANGLE (B).
(6) Subtract smaller figure from larger (C minus
B) to obtain axle INPUT OPERATING ANGLE.
Refer to rules given below and the example in (Fig.
8) for additional information.

SERVICE PROCEDURES
PRECAUTIONS
Use exact replacement hardware for attaching the
propeller shafts. Exact replacement will ensure safe
operation. The specified torque must always be ap-
plied when tightening the fasteners.
Put reference marks on the propshaft yoke and
axle or transmission yoke before service (Fig. 1). This
will assure correct phasing and eliminate possible vi-
bration.
CAUTION: Do not allow the propeller shaft to drop
or hang from either universal joint during removal.
Attach it to the vehicle underside with wire to pre-
vent damage to the universal joints.
CAUTION: It is very important to protect the ma-
chined, external surface of the slip yoke from dam-
age after propeller shaft removal. If damaged, the
transmission extension seal could be damaged and
cause a leak.
FRONTÐXJ VEHICLES
REMOVAL
(1) Raise the vehicle.
(2) Scribe alignment marks on the yokes at the
transfer case. Place marks at the pinion shaft and at
each end of the propeller shaft. These marks will be
used for installation reference (Fig. 2).
(3) Remove the U-joint strap bolts at the pinion
shaft yoke.
(4) Disconnect the propeller shaft at the transfer
case and remove the propeller shaft.
INSTALLATION
(1) Position the propeller shaft with the yoke refer-
ence marks aligned (Fig. 1). Install the propeller
shaft.
Replacement U-joint straps and bolts must be
installed.
(2) Tighten the U-joint strap/clamp bolts at the
axle yoke to 19 Nzm (14 ft. lbs.) torque.
(3) Tighten the flange to transfer case bolts to 27
Nzm (20 ft. lbs.) torque.
(4) Lower the vehicle.

plicable) to their Neutral positions. Raise the vehicle.
(2) Scribe alignment marks at the pinion shaft and
at each end of the propeller shaft. These marks will
be used for installation reference.
(3) Remove the U-joint strap bolts at the pinion
shaft yoke.
(4) Slide the slip yoke off of the transmission/
transfer case output shaft and remove the propeller
shaft (Fig. 3).
INSTALLATION

SINGLE CARDAN
REMOVAL/DISASSEMBLY
Single cardan universal joints are not serviceable.
If worn or leaking, they must be replaced as a unit.
(1) Remove the propeller shaft. Refer to Propeller
Shaft Replacement in this Group.
(2)Paint or score alignment marks on the yokes
and propeller shaft for installation reference.
(3) Using a soft drift, tap the outside of the bear-
ing assembly to loosen snap ring.
(4) Remove snap rings from both sides of yoke (Fig.
2).(5) Set the yoke in an arbor press or vise with a large
socket beneath it. Position the yoke with the lube fitting
pointing up (if equipped). Place a smaller socket on the
upper bearing assembly and press it through to release
the lower bearing assembly (Fig. 3).
(6) If the bearing assembly will not pull out by hand
after pressing, tap the base of the lug near it to dis-
lodge.
(7) To remove the opposite bearing, turn the yoke
over and straighten the cross in the open hole. Then
carefully press the end of the cross until the remain-
ing bearing can be removed (Fig. 4).
CAUTION: If the cross or bearing assembly are cocked
when being pressed, the bearing assembly will score
the walls of the yoke bore and ruin the yoke.
CLEANING AND INSPECTION
(1) Clean all the universal joint yoke bores with
cleaning solvent and a wire brush.
(2) Inspect the yokes for distortion, cracks and
worn bearing assembly bores.
ASSEMBLY/INSTALLATION
(1) Apply extreme pressure (EP) N.L.G.I. Grade 1
or 2 grease to aid in installation.
(2) Position the cross in the yoke with its lube fit-
ting (if equipped) pointing up (Fig. 5).
(3) Place a bearing assembly over the trunnion and
align it with the cross hole (Fig. 6). Keep the needle
