DESCRIPTION
WARNING: Due to propeller shaft imbalance con-
cerns, the propeller shaft can only be serviced as
an assembly.
AWD models utilize a ªtwo-pieceº propeller shaft
(Fig. 1) to transmit power to the rear driveline mod-
ule assembly. This two-piece design consists of:
²Front and rear shaft segments.
²Plunging center CV joint
²Center support bearing
²Rubber coupler at driveline module flange
The front shaft segment utilizes a CV joint at the
power transfer unit connection, and a plunging CV
joint at the center bearing location.
The rear shaft segment utilizes a center support
bearing at the forward position, and a rubber coupler
at the driveline module flange.
OPERATION
The propeller shaft (Fig. 1) is used to transmit
torque from the transaxle power transfer unit (PTU)
to the rear driveline module of AWD equipped mod-
els.
The propeller shaft front half utilizes a CV joint at
the PTU flange, and a plunging CV joint at the cen-
ter bearing location. These joints are flexible, allow-
ing for torsional movement of the powertrain.The propeller shaft rear half utilizes a center sup-
port bearing, which supports this two-piece assembly.
The bearing also stabilizes the rear shaft segment to
minimize axle wind-up. The rubber coupler at the
driveline module flange dampens out propeller shaft
torsional vibrations, as the driveline module it con-
nects to is fastened to the vehicle body.
REMOVAL
CAUTION: Propeller shaft removal is a two-man
operation. Never allow propeller shaft to hang while
connected to power transfer unit (PTU) or rear driv-
eline module flanges. A helper is required.
(1) Make sure transaxle is in neutral (N). Using
chalk, mark propeller shaft flanges at PTU and rear
driveline module for installation reference.
(2) Remove six propeller shaft-to-power transfer
unit bolts.
(3) Have helper remove three propeller shaft rub-
ber coupler-to-driveline module bolts while he/she
supports rear shaft by hand.
(4) Remove center bearing support-to-crossmember
bolts, while supporting front shaft with two hands.
(5) Lower propeller shaft assembly to ground,
using care not to damage fore and aft flanges (Fig.
1).
