On-vehicle Service
PROPELLER SHAFT VIBRATION
If vibration is present at high speed, inspect propeller shaft runout
®rst.
1. Raise front and rear wheels.
2. Measure propeller shaft runout at several points by rotating
®nal drive companion ¯ange with hands.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
3. If runout exceeds speci®cations, disconnect propeller shaft at
®nal drive companion ¯ange; then rotate companion ¯ange 180
degrees and reconnect propeller shaft.
4. Check runout again. If runout still exceeds speci®cations,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
5. Perform road tests.
APPEARANCE CHECKING
+Inspect propeller shaft tube surface for dents or cracks. If
damaged, replace propeller shaft assembly.

Removal and Installation
+Put matchmarks on ¯anges and separate propeller shaft from
®nal drive.
CAUTION:
When installing the propeller shaft, make sure it is facing the
correct direction. Each model is different.
Inspection
+Inspect propeller shaft runout. If runout exceeds speci®cations,
replace propeller shaft assembly.
Runout limit: 0.6 mm (0.024 in)
+Inspect journal axial play.
If the play exceeds speci®cations, replace propeller shaft
assembly.
Journal axial play:
0.02 mm (0.0008 in) or less
+Check ¯ange yoke and sleeve yoke for damage or wear.
Replace if necessary.

Removal
+Remove propeller shaft.
+Remove drive shaft. Refer to FA section (``FRONT AXLE Ð
Knuckle Flange'').
+Remove axle shaft.
Refer to RA section (``REAR AXLE'').
+Remove front and rear ®nal drive mounting bolts.
CAUTION:
+Be careful not to damage spline, sleeve yoke and front oil
seal when removing propeller shaft.
+Before removing the ®nal drive assembly or rear axle
assembly, disconnect the ABS sensor harness connector
from the assembly and move it away from the ®nal drive/
rear axle assembly area. Failure to do so may result in the
sensor wires being damaged and the sensor becoming
inoperative.
Installation
+Fill ®nal drive with recommended gear oil.
+Pay attention to the direction of gasket.

Be careful not to confuse left and right hand parts.
Keep bearing and bearing race for each side together.
2. Loosen ring gear bolts in a criss-cross pattern.
3. Tap ring gear off differential case with a soft hammer.
Tap evenly all around to keep ring gear from binding.
4. Drive out pinion mate shaft lock pin, with punch from ring gear side (2-pinion type differential case).
Lock pin is calked at pin hole mouth on differential case.
