On-vehicle Service
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout
®rst.
1. Raise front and rear wheels.
2. Measure propeller shaft runout at several points by rotating
®nal drive companion ¯ange with hands.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
3. If runout exceeds speci®cations, disconnect propeller shaft at
®nal drive companion ¯ange; then rotate companion ¯ange 180
degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.
4. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds speci®cations,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
5. Perform road tests.
APPEARANCE CHECKING
+Inspect propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If
damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

Removal and Installation
+Put matchmarks on ¯anges and separate propeller shaft from
®nal drive.
CAUTION:
When installing the propeller shaft, make sure it is facing the
correct direction. Each model is different.
Inspection
+Inspect propeller shaft runout. If runout exceeds speci®cations,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
+Inspect journal axial play.
If the play exceeds speci®cations, replace propeller shaft
assembly.
Journal axial play:
0.02 mm (0.0008 in) or less
+Check ¯ange yoke and sleeve yoke for damage or wear.
Replace if necessary.
