INSPECTION
1. INSPECT INTERMEDIATE AND REAR PROPELLER
SHAFTS RUNOUT
Using a dial indicator, inspect the intermediate shaft and propel-
ler shaft.
Maximum runout: 0.8 mm (0.031 in.)
If the shaft runout is greater than the maximum, replace the
shaft.
2. INSPECT UNIVERSAL JOINT FLANGE RUNOUT
(a) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear side of universal
joint flange runout in the horizontal direction.
Maximum runout: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
(b) Using a dial indicator, inspect the rear side of universal
joint flange runout in the vertical direction.
Maximum runout: 0.1 mm (0.004 in.)
3. INSPECT SPIDER BEARING
Check the spider bearing axial play by turning the flange with
holding the shaft tightly.
4. INSPECT CROSS GROOVE JOINT
Check that the joint turns smoothly in the directions as shown.
Check for damage or grease leakage from the boot.
If a problem is found, replace the rear propeller shaft.

is the same.
Tie rod end length difference:
1.5 mm (0.059 in.) or less
(d) Torque the tie rod end lock nuts.
Torque: 56 N·m (570 kgf·cm, 41 ft·lbf)
(e) Place the boot on the seat and install the clamp.
HINT:
Make sure that the boots are not twisted.
7. INSPECT WHEEL ANGLE
Turn the steering wheel fully, and measure the turning angle.
Inside wheel33°15’ ± 2.0° (33.25° ± 2.0°)
Outside wheel: Reference28°05’ (28.08°)
If the wheel angles differ from the standard specification, adjust
the toe−in.
