NOTE:
Vibration while cruising may be caused by an unbalanced tire, improper tire inflation pressure, improper
wheel alignment, etc.
Symptom Possible cause Remedy
1. Vibration of propeller shaft
NOTE:
Vibration is caused by propeller
shaft during operation and is trans-
ferred to vehicle body. Generally
vibration increases in proportion to
vehicle speed.(1) Worn or damaged universal joint. Replace.
(2) Unbalanced propeller shaft due to bend or dent. Replace.
(3) Loose installation of propeller shaft. Retighten.
(4) Worn or damaged center bearing and damaged
center mounting rubber.Replace.
2. Tapping when starting and
noise while cruising, caused by
propeller shaft.(1) Worn or damaged universal joint. Replace.
(2) Worn spline of sleeve yoke. Replace.
(3) Loose installation of propeller shaft. Retighten.
(4) Loose installation of joint. Replace.
(5) Worn or damaged center bearing and damaged

1) Adjust tire pressure to specifications.
2) Set vehicle under ªcurb weightº conditions.
(Empty luggage compartment, install spare tire,jack, service tools, and top up fuel tank.)
3) Set steering wheel in a wheel-forward position.
4) Suspend thread from wheel arch (point ªAº in

center of spindle.
5) Measure distance between measuring point
and center of spindle.

12. ªT-typeº Tire
ªT-typeº tire for temporary use is prepared as a
spare tire.
CAUTION:
IKeep the inflation pressure at 420 kPa (4.2
kg/cm
2, 60 psi) at all times.
IWhen the wear indicator appears on the
tread surface, replace the tire with a new one.
IDo not use a tire chain with the ªT-typeº tire.
Because of the smaller tire size, a tire chain will
not fit properly and will result in damage to the
vehicle and the tire.
IDo not drive at a speed greater than 80 km/h
(50 MPH).
IDrive as slowly as possible and avoid pass-
ing over bumps.
IReplace with a conventional tire as soon as
possible since this ªT-typeº tire is only for tem-
porary use.
