INSPECTION
INSPECT AXLE SHAFT
Using a dial indicator, measure the runout of the shaft and
flange.
Maximum shaft runout: 2.0 mm (0.079 in.)
Maximum flange runout: 0.1 mm (0.0040 in.)
If the rear axle shaft or flange are damaged or worn, or if runout
is greater than the maximum, replace the rear axle shaft.
