mediate shaft and the rear yoke of the propeller shaft are fac-
ing in the same direction.

If using a new propeller shaft
w/ Phasemarks:
Install the propeller shaft phasemarks and differential phase-
marks so that their respective alignment phasemarks match.

JOINT ANGLE INSPECTION AND
ADJUSTMENT
NOTICE: When doing operations which involve the re-
moval 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.
± PROPELLER SHAFTPROPELLER SHAFTPR±17

(c) Calculate the No.2 joint angle.
No.2 joint angle:
A ± B = ±1° 09' + 36'
A: Intermediate shaft installation angle
B: Propeller shaft installation angle
(d) Calculate the No.3 joint angle.
No.3 joint angle:
B ± C = 44' + 36'
B: Propeller shaft installation angle
C: Differential installation angle
If the measured angle is not within the specification, adjust
it with the center support bearing adjusting washer, differen-
tial mount upper stopper and adjusting shim. PR±18

ADJUSTMENT CHART
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° 50'
Propeller shaft 2° 14'
Differential 2° 15'
Joint angle:
NO.2 1° 50' ± 2° 14' = ±24'
NO.3 2° 14' ± 2° 15' = ±1'
Adjustment:
Center support bearing
Standard parts 4 mm ± 2 mm = 2 mm
Use adjusting washers which are 2 mm (0.079 in.)
thicker.
Differential
Use adjusting shims which are 1.6 mm (0.063 in.)
thicker.
