PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout
first.
1. Raise rear wheels.
2. Measure propeller shaft runout at center of propeller shaft,between two yokes, by rotating final drive companion flange by
hand.
Front propeller shaft
Unit: mm (in)
Propeller shaft model 0F71H
Measuring point A L/2
Rear propeller shaft
Unit: mm (in)
Propeller shaft model 2S80B
Measuring point A L/2
3. If runout exceeds specifications, disconnect propeller shaft at
final drive companion flange; then rotate companion flange 180
degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
4. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds specifications, replace propeller shaft assembly.
5. Perform road test.
APPEARANCE CHECKING
I Inspect propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If
damaged, replace shaft assembly.
I If center is noisy or damaged, replace center bearing.

Removal and Installation
IPut match marks on flanges and separate propeller shaft from
final drive.
I Draw out propeller shaft from transmission and plug up rear
end of transmission rear extension housing.
Inspection
IInspect propeller shaft runout. If runout exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
I Inspect journal axial play. If the play exceeds specifications,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
Journal axial play: 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or less

2. Remove snap ring.
3. Remove pushed out journal bearing by lightly tapping yoke witha hammer, taking care not to damage journal and yoke hole.
4. Remove bearing at opposite side in above operation.
Put marks on disassembled parts so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original positions from which they were
removed.
Assembly
JOURNAL
1. Assemble journal bearing. Apply recommended multi-purpose grease on bearing inner surface.
When assembling, be careful that needle bearing does not fall
down.
2. Select snap rings that will provide specified play in axial direc- tion of journal, and install them. (Refer to PD-57.)
Select snap rings with a difference in thickness at both sides
within 0.06 mm (0.0024 in).
