PROPELLER SHAFT 3C-7
Installation Procedure
Clean the disassembled parts and replace them if damaged.
1. Align the alignment marks of the yoke and assemble the
spider, bearing and snap ring.
2. Apply grease to the inner of the bearing cap of the needle
roller bearing and assemble the needle roller.
Grease EP #2
6. Possible cause of vibration.
lDrift away of balance weights.
lExcessive runout of the propeller shaft.
lUsing normal bolts.
lExcessive wear of the universal joint.
lSticks in sleeve joint.
lDrive angle changes in universal joints or cross causes
vibration and can be detected around 60~100 km/h. 5. Universal joint starting torque.
Starting Torque 3 - 8 kglcm
